In the recent Borat movie, the most edgy scene is apparently the "running of the Jew." This scenario played itself out in real life, however, after an Israeli soccer team won a match against Paris Saint-German. A mob of up to
300 attackers chased four French Jews screaming "
Death to the Jew." The four ran in different directions and one Jew was cornered alongside a black plainclothes police officer who had bravely come to his aid. When his tear gas failed to dissuade the attackers, he fired one warning shot in the air, which apparently hit two of the mob, later resulting in the death of one:

Not surprisingly, the AP story headline uses the neutral term "skirmish" to describe the hate crime:
Paris: 1 Killed in Hapoel, PSG Skirmish
Update: As is often the case, the best reporting of the incident can be found on a
blog.
