Pro-Palestinian protesters lunged at Talya Lador-Fresher -- the deputy ambassador of Israel to Britain -- following her lecture on April 28, 2010 at the University of Manchester.
The envoy, who was not hurt, said she feared she would be physically assaulted by the protesters, according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) website.
Lador-Fresher was removed from the area by a security vehicle, which she entered from the back entrance of the lecture hall. The demonstrators attacked the car -- some holding Palestinian flags up to the windows and others climbing to the hood and trying to smash the windshield -- according to reports.
Shaken up by the protesters, Lader-Fresher said, "If I had not had the police and security team, I would have been beaten up."
