The assault against Kesselman, who has been the subject of dozens of similar attacks in Malmo over the past decade, happened as he and congregation member Hugo Klein were walking away from the synagogue at 9 p.m.
A car approached them with several men inside who called out: “F—ing Jews” and hurled a glass bottle at Klein and Kesselman. The bottle shattered on a wall behind them.
Earlier that same evening, a lighter was thrown at the men from a passing car.
Malmo, a city of 300,000 residents, is home to a few hundred Jews. A third of the city’s population is immigrants from Muslim countries or their descendants.
