Stabbing of Jewish woman in Sweden ‘not about religion,’ says suspect’s mom timesofisrael.com/stabbing-of-je… via @timesofisrael
JTA — The man suspected of stabbing a Jewish woman in Sweden did not commit a hate crime, targeting her randomly amid a psychiatric crisis, his mother said.
The 29-year-old man, who has an extensive criminal record for assault, was released from 12 days at a psychiatric institution one day prior to the attack Tuesday in Helingborg, according to Expressen.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry announced that the suspected attacker is Muslim in a statement widely reported in Israeli media, though this has not been confirmed by Swedish officials.
