Out of a group of African-American teenagers who attacked a Jewish man in Crown Heights on Friday, one of them was caught and arrested.
Isaac Senderov, a 29-year-old student of Yeshiva Hadar Hatorah in Brooklyn, NY, was walking down Eastern Parkway when some 10 black youths started following him between the Kingston and Albany avenues.
“They saw me from across the street and decided to follow me,” Senderov told COLlive.com. “They threw at me small rocks or stones and then I felt many of them close to my back.”
The Israeli-born student said the black youth shouted at him but he didn’t fully understand them.
“I screamed, ‘what do you want?!’ and one of them said, ‘you want to fight?’ and showed me his fists. I continued walking as I was close to my Yeshiva, trying to escape there.”
Senderov said he was then hit with a heavy steel stick in his left arm.
His attackers started to disperse when a Jewish woman saw what was happening and called the police.
“They ran away in different directions,” he recalled. “I managed to catch one of them. He was hiding between houses. I said to him, ‘don’t go until the police is here.’ He punched me in the face, so I pushed him down and sat on him until Shmira came.”
Officers from the NYPD eventually arrived at the scene. They identified the person as a 13-year-old black male.
A statement from the NYPD confirmed to COLlive: “The perp was apprehended and brought to the 71st Precinct and charged with a possible hate crime assault 3.”
The 77th and 71st Precincts’ school teams are planning to visit the nearby Alternate Learning Center at 281 Albany Avenue on Monday.
The city-funded school provides an educational setting for students who are serving a Superintendent’s Suspension up to one year. Police officers will be speaking to the facility and students.
We don’t care what color they were but the African American community has to take MORE responsibility for prevention…
And the Jewish community should be promoting tsnius which is a spiritually protective stance, too. Krav maga is good but tsnius is even more important.
you grab 1 of these boys and hang him, it wont happen again
Isn’t that racist?
i’m sure he’s back in his reform school in ch. you yeshiva boys should be enrolled in krav maga. you smack them a few times they won’t bother you anymore
Well said 29
Report it to Shomrim and the police.
Get the videos from the subway station!
i just went and got 10 pound wights yiden stand up for youself
This is crazy!!
“Jewish Lives Matter”?
Thats terrible!
I witnessed this situation, and got on the train shortly after. the rest of the kids that ran away were on my train. the things they were saying were absolutely disgusting! one of them was bragging about the brick he threw at the bus, they were laughing and saying how funny it was.
Wonderful. Thanks for offering this.
What about doing a class for moms and bubbies too? We all need to be able to defend ourself.
Maybe rhe afro-cans will leave us alone if we all strike backin self defence.
Unbelievable that this happen in front of Hadar Hatorah next to 770 unprovoked!
Isaac is an amazing young yeshiva student, a mensch and amazing violin player from Russia. If this was an older man he would not of survived!
I think it’s time we get a large crowd together at the alternative learning centre at 281 Albany Ave. and make a very very strong statement that this will not be tolerable whatsoever!!!
To think that a 13 yr old African American could even attempt to injure an israeli born 29 yr old bochur! Baruch Hashem the bochur is safe and not badly injured!
We need Moshiach now

he’s only 13 and was probably already released into the custody of his dear mom who will make sure to steer him right from now on.
Cops ain’t gonna do noting to him. Courts can’t do anything either becaus ethe jails are too full. He will just fester as he grows bolder. R”L
This yeshiva student has my respect and gratitude. Let’s fight the assumption prevalent in this neighborhood that Jews are easy targets.
the CH security division’s symbol is 770? thats really cool
Shmira, shomrim, the Community Council, etc. should meet with non-Jewish groups, such as the Crown Heights mediation center, the schools, etc. to discuss attacks on Jews
Only possible????? It IS a hate crime.
Is there any video of the incident? or a video or the youths dispersing? What needs to be shown is that you follow through, to the nth degree and no one escapes. Then the NYPD could get the school safety officers assigned to the alternate learning center on albany to either charge them and being another school charge against them. Go the hearing and request they change their al.l.c. site to another location and charge them with a crime in addition, (if identified) then the word gets out they we will follow through (whatever it takes) . it gets (in… Read more »
There should be a Sirius of Justice rules about these kind of miners….What LET HIM FREE?? & JUST FORGET ABOUT THE WHOLE THING WHEN HE’S FREE????? NO……….LET THEM SUFFER…..What if we do such things to them? There maybe world war 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First amendment!
Thsnk you shmira!we appreciate your work!
What do u mean the police came “eventually”? What about that big, impressive police can that’s parked on the corner of Kingston & Eastern pkway 24/7? Is anybody home there?
Self defense love it!!! Hope they get the rest of the gang. These youths need to learn a lesson
I saw numerous Shmira and Police there, they did a great job getting these dangerous people off the streets.
Make every kid sit and watch newsreel & film taken by Germans of concentration camps and what they did to Jews… and others. These are thugs and delinquents, let them see the truth in all its horror and evil. Pandering and appealing to their “better nature” which they don’t have isn’t working: they need to be shocked.
Put a group of students who don’t know how to act, and mostly hate jews in a jewish neighborhood, Sounds good. Lets put a mosque filled with muslim brotherhood members across from Chocolatte too
Gee whizz and I should be happy my son learns in Crown Heights.
13 yr old black youth!!! whats he gonna d when he is 18??? kill someone? men ,women, children ,! learn to defend yourselves!!!! Scare the hell out of these evil animals and they won’t come back!!!

I passed by and saw it all, was cool
Shmira did amazing
And of course he’ll go free within two days
Here is how it would have ended when I was a student at Hadar hatorah in the ’80s: ten black youth who are unfamiliar with the shchuna’s geography attack a bochur on Eastern parkway, he screams chaptzem, 100 jews get to them before they dispersed, police is called when they all lay on the ground without me having to sit on any of them. Their friends at the fringe school down the block get the point and never try it again.
O how I long for the days…..
These animals have been seen throwing sticks, bricks, metal rods and other items at cars and people on Eastern Parkway..
Why wont the precincts do anything?? Do they really think “talking” will help??
More black anti semitism.
the second attack this week!
On Thursday afternoon, a brick was thrown at a Jewish school bus on the same block! Was it the same ones? They get out of school around 2 PM. Any thoughts?
Crazy why bring them to ch. Who can we complain too.
