Alert commuters caught startling footage of a French citizen spewing anti-Semitic epithets on a Paris train earlier this month, a French-language news site reported Tuesday.
In the footage, a man in his fifties of self-described Algerian descent verbally assaulted Jews on the RED D line near Melun on December 7. The man approached eight Jews on the train and threatened them.
“You band of motherf***er bastard Jews,” the man said, before threatening them with a "fragmentation grenade."
He then claimed Israel killed 5,000 Palestinian babies. Bystanders noted the suspect may have been inebriated during the tirade.
Anti-Semitism has skyrocketed in France over the past five years, prompting a wave of French Aliyah aided in part by the Israeli government.
The latest documented incident follows even higher tensions in the capital following an ISIS attack in Paris in November - and the stabbing of a Jewish teacher in Marseilles days later.
