An Australian rabbi was pushed to the ground outside court by the brother of accused paedophile principal Malka Leifer.
Adam Segal was supporting Leifer's alleged victims when he confronted psychiatrist Brian Trappler after the extradition hearing in Jerusalem.
Appearing in court on Wednesday, Dr Trappler said Leifer, 54, is unfit to face trial in Australia on charges of child sex abuse and rape.
However, Dr Trappler's integrity was called into question after it was revealed he wrote on Facebook in 2017 that Leifer was innocent.
Outside court Mr Segal asked Dr Trappler if the girls were liars.
'You called them on Facebook liars,' Mr Segal said.

Dr Trappler then tells Mr Segal to 'move away' before the rabbi is aggressively pushed by Leifer's brother.
He then falls backwards on the pavement and drops his glasses before security intervenes.

Leifer fled to Israel in 2008 to avoid facing the sexual abuse charges.
Dassi Erlich and her two sisters Nicole Meyer and Elly Sapper allege they were sexually abused by Leifer at Melbourne's ultra-orthodox Jewish Adass Israel Girls School between 2003 and 2006.
