Orange County Sheriff's Department said the woman made anti-Semitic comments and threatened the man in his 80s.
Southern California authorities say they are investigating an incident in which a woman wearing a Nazi armband allegedly threatened an elderly Jewish man.
Orange County Sheriff's Department spokesperson Jaimee Blashaw said Friday that deputies investigated the March 7 incident in which a man in his 80s said he confronted a woman wearing a red armband with a swastika in Laguna Woods. She said the woman made anti-Semitic comments and threatened the man.
Blashaw says authorities asked the district attorney's office to charge the woman with criminal threats with a hate enhancement. The Anti-Defamation League denounced the incident. © 2022 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
