A 26-year-old, who claimed to have fought with jihadist groups in Syria, was arrested by police after threatening to "slaughter" and "cut the throat" of a Christian refugee.

The victim, Amir, is frightened because the perpetrator, known as N.N., was ultimately sentenced only to probation and a monetary fine. "I have fled the war to avoid this kind of thing," he said.
