A Hassidic Jew who arrived in the Ukrainian town of Uman was apparently the subject of an anti-Semitic attack, the local Jewish community reported.

Ukrainian Jewish Committee Director General Eduard Dolinksy said the man suffered minor injuries. Other Hassids in the group, who like the victim were on the annual pilgrim to the grave site of the Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, were unhurt.
The latest attack comes on the heels of a similar incident in which Breslov Hassids were violently turned away from Uman even before Ukraine announced a ban on tourists.
"We usually don't make contact with the locals, we just pray and have fun; we are very happy to have managed to arrive while upholding the various health regulations," a Hassid told Israel Hayom on Tuesday.
