Teenager convicted of Nazi-motivated axe attack on Kurdish man in Bristol last year

The young woman allegedly attacked a man outside a store last summer. According to the court, the attack was Nazi-motivated, The Guardian reports.

The woman has admitted attempted murder and three counts of crimes under the equivalent of Sweden's Knife Act; she denies violating terrorism legislation. However, the court believes terrorism was part of the motive.

Before the attack, the woman had watched Nazi films and encouraged a man on a dating app to "kill all Jews and Muslims."

According to the defense, the woman had a difficult upbringing marked by homelessness and stopped going to school at the age of 14.
