Victorian police have increased patrols of Jewish neighbourhoods, with support from the mounted branch and riot squad, as community leaders say they feel increasingly under threat.
The measures come after a terror attack on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, at a synagogue in Manchester in the UK, which left two people dead and others injured. Police there allege 35-year-old Jihad Al-Shamie used a car and knife to ambush attendees.
