A Lubavitcher man has been arrested Wednesday afternoon, after an act of vandalism caused injury to two local residents.
On Tuesday morning, two customers of Basil Restaurant slipped and fell on a large amount of oil which had been spilled near the restaurant on Kingston Avenue and Lincoln Place. One received a head injury due to the fall and was transported to the hospital.
The police, who were called to the scene, demanded to see the restaurant manager, who was in complete surprise as to how the oil, which had been placed near the restaurant for disposal, had been spilled.
After requesting the surveillance footage from the Eshel Hachnosas Orchim building next door, and receiving no response, police finally obtained video footage taken by a neighbor.
The footage revealed that the perpetrator of the act of vandalism was the manager of Eshel Hachnosas Orchim building and an accomplice. The two are seen holding a large pot, which they then overturn, spilling the oil on the ground.
“He had been in a dispute with our busboy, but I never imagined he would do such a thing,” one of the restaurant’s owners told COLlive.
The manager, who is a married resident of Crown Heights, was arrested on Wednesday afternoon for the act of vandalism.
he was arrested for “dumping oil” in street which is illegal he was not arrested for vandalism
when its a jew you manage to arrest them, but when its a goy knocking an innocent child for no reason except hate it’s too hard.
Thanks for clearing that up
This is Clara the Manager at Basil. Mendel Hendel’s Hotel and Basil share the ALLEYWAY. The manager of the hotel decided that the USED OIL that we contain in a drum on OUR SIDE of the alleyway was “in the way” of the many guests. I placed the Drum and our garbage container closer to OUR side of the Building. Gilad believes that OIL and GARBAGE should be placed IN FRONT OF THE ESTABLISHMENT!!!Unfortunately this is not the case. The Sanitation and EPA and DEP do not permit OIL or GARBAGE to be dispose of by throwing it out!!!That is… Read more »
Shocking to read this. Such brhavior is so unlike Gilad
. I never saw him get mad at anyone. He is a very kind man. I don’t know what dispute could have possibly led to him acting out this way, but I hope he does teshuva on this stupid act appologizes to the victims, pays compensation to the injured has the charges dropped and returns to his normal self never to repeat this again in his life.
uuuummmmm are they the rebbes guests?? because I would imagine that if any single one of the tishrei guests would have ever been a guest of the rebbe they would NEVER ever leave such a mess and such disgust for the rebbe to clean up – if they truly were guests of the rebbe they would show a little more respect – I hope and I wish they would show a little more respect to those who spend time effort and money on them – davening and learning is not going to get you far without common sense and respect… Read more »
To #10 and 12
This person was not arrested for driving with an expired license, which could happen to anybody by accident.
This person was arrested for knowingly doing a criminal act. He acted like a thug and should own up to his action.
People were hurt because of his irresponsible and illegal action.
This world is not a free for all.
It is wrong. Don’t put a stumbling block before the blind.
