A sledgehammer-wielding man was seen smashing windows at two mosques in the British city of Birmingham and three more have been similarly vandalised overnight.

LONDON • A sledgehammer-wielding man was seen smashing windows at two mosques in the British city of Birmingham and three more have been similarly vandalised overnight, the police said yesterday.

Officers were first alerted in the early hours of yesterday to reports of a man smashing windows with a sledgehammer at one of the places of worship, police said. British national police chiefs last week announced that officers were providing"reassurance patrols" around mosques in the aftermath of last Friday's deadly gun rampage in New Zealand.

A report released last month by the Hope Not Hate charity cited a poll which found more than a third of Britons see Islam as"generally a threat to the British way of life".
