A man doused the front doors of a downtown Melbourne synagogue and set them alight Friday night, Australian police said Saturday.

The door of a synagogue in the Australian city of Melbourne has been set on fire. About 20 people had gathered in the building on Friday evening at the start of the Jewish Sabbath when a man poured a flammable liquid on the entrance door of the building and set it alight,

None of the approximately 20 people who were inside the synagogue were injured in the incident, the latest in a surge of anti-Jewish acts in Australia.
