Man Drives Car into Torah Procession in London

London man broke into a Hachnasas Sefer Torah procession this Sunday, driving his car into the Jewish gathering.

The Hachnasas Sefer Torah was held on Sunday in Stamford Hill, London into the Beis Midrash of Vizhnitz, the Behadrey-Haredim news portal reported.

When the procession arrived in the area of Stamford Avenue, loud sirens were heard and a car drove quickly into the crowd.

"We were in the middle of the dancing, the joy was great. There were hundreds of people, men, women and many children. I suddenly heard a car honking behind me followed by screaming," said bystander Moshe Birenbaum.

"I turned around and saw a car driven by a young gentile bursting into the crowd, and the crowd fled in fear to the sides," he said.

"A group of participants tried to stop him but he almost ran them over. The non-Jew crossed the crowd and made abusive comments like: 'You Jews won't take over our neighborhood.'"

"We called the police, but the police arrived much later since some roads were closed to traffic because of the Torah procession," Birenbaum added, according to the news portal.

Police eventually nabbed the perpetrator who confessed, marinating that that the Jews are taking over the neighborhood.

No one was injured during the incident.

“Marinating that that the Jews are taking over the neighborhood.”

Sounds like this - the most SFW - definition from the Urban Dictionary -

“sitting around, thinking about something that just happened and letting it soak in”

Since they don’t give the perp’s name, I would bet that he is of the ROP.

Donut gets you a dollar that Mohammed (or some variant thereof) is in there somewhere.

Probably autocorrect for "maintaining", which would make sense in this context.

PS: "Loss"

If this mook had pulled that nonsense here in east Texas, I guarantee that his car would have been, shall we say, well ventilated.
