Two teenage Jewish boys were victims of a violent mugging on Monday evening in Crown Heights.
The boys were walking on Albany Avenue near Crown Street at approximately 9:15 PM when a group of 5 or 6 black teens approached them from behind, police said.
The victims heard the teens say to ‘get them,’ before they approached one of the victims and demanded he give them what was in his pockets. They then punched him in the face, causing him to fall to the ground, police said.
The second victim was then attacked, with the thugs demanding he give them ‘bread,’ meaning money. The perps stole the victim’s phone, but quickly threw it back at him when they saw it was an inexpensive one.
The alleged perpetrators then fled into the area of the NYPD 77th Precinct. Police responded but were unable to find the perpetrators.
Bystanders called Hatzalah, who transported the first victim to the hospital where he was treated for a broken nose.
The second victim was interviewed by the NYPD 71st Detectives, who are actively investigating the case.
This group of teenagers attacked and assaulted two Jewish teenagers, leaving one of them with a bloody nose. Shomrim got an 👁 on these perps as they entered a building on the north side of Eastern Parkway. We are working with @NYPD71Pct @NYPD77Pct providing them with footage pic.twitter.com/qHgVasGkTy

Eli Slavin, Eli Cohen, Yakov Berman – where are you?

Definitely A Bias Related Crime!!!!!!!!!!!!
it was like 6 7 shootings coming with an ambulance siren a few minutes later
At Troy and Empire
Yup. Heard em all
Heard about 7 shots as well in middle of the night.
Empire between Albany & Troy.
Anyone know what happened???
The “Citizen Local Safety Alerts” app. A short while back, my son stopped to chat with an on-duty CH police officer that he knows, but the officer told him, “You shouldn’t be outside right now, there’s an active shooter they’re hunting down in CH.” I was alarmed that a message hadn’t gone out to the community with this advisement. That’s when my son told me about this great app that an officer had once told him about. With this app, you gain awareness of the reality of what’s going on in CH. A refuah shlaimeh to our babies who were… Read more »
Same news different day!
Shomrim chased them for a few blocks but they managed to get away after running into a building and locking the door
Very important to know
I called Shomrim, who brought the victim to the station to speak to detectives. They got camera footage within minutes to provide to the police.
The bochur who was beaten is my brother his face is all bruised up he was walking on Albany and Carroll together with a freind which you think would be safe when will something finally be done to these animals to prevent them from starting up with us?
He is my brother too. We cannot stand for this. These animals have no fear on our streets. This is Galus and must stop.
When they are caught, held down and have Shmira/shomrim take over.
Or do the unthinkable: גיב זיי מכות רצח.
As long as these thugs, (who, in this case were kids!!!,) see that you can get away with it, they will!
Pepper spray
Thank you Shomrim for going above and beyond
Vote the DemocRATs out
I saw a video going around? Maybe share it so we can help identify them in the future!
The same group attacked boys a few months ago on union and Albany
I believe this same group attacked bocherim on Albany Avenue just a few weeks ago as well, then went on a mini crime spree.
Why does no one do anything??? Our children are in DANGER.
Everyone is in danger!!!
A civilian followed them on foot whilst on the phone with Shomrim.
If more people did that. Things WILL change
Wasn’t there just a delegation from CH meeting with our new representatives just yesterday?? Why wasn’t this brought up? Seems like only CTeens, Kinus and guests get extra security, I understand these people can’t afford to get mugged while coming to visit Ch but those of us who live here are free to be mugged?
WE need a few police cars circling the neighborhood This child will be
traumatized for a very long time Is there even reform school to send these bad kids to? Where are our elected officials and representatives from the community council? WE must protest this or chas veshalom it will happen more and more. Hashem yerachem!!!
Shomrim does patrols every Shabbos. They should start doing every night.
These are the results for voting democrat crown hights is a jungle of crime with no repercussions. these dangerous animals if caught will be released an hour later it’s such a joke the only solution to this madness is to catch these criminals and Lock them up for at least 5 years for committing a violent crime like the crime that happened last night. Until that happens which will likely never happen crime will continue and only get worse. I’m stating the obvious but it’s also the unfortunate reality. this is the price we pay having useless people in charge… Read more »
Where do these criminals live?
Post the address of the building they ran into.
And then what? We all know that no one’s going to do anything. That’s just pointless 😂
WHEN WILL THIS EVER END??? HOW OFTEN MUST VIOLENT ATTACKS LIKE THIS HAPPEN TO 16 YEAR OLD YESHIVA BOYS BEFORE CONSEQUENCES ARE ENFORCED!!
We live in an era of no consequences.
The “community leaders” keep supporting those who are ruining our community. Why????
Why is this being allowed to happen !!!! Why is our basic rights to walk in the street safely being taken away from us.
This has to be dealt with now . They know they can do what they want to us and our children, we are a joke in their eyes , we are weak !!!
Where are our “representatives” stop everything you are doing and demand now that our kids can walk home from school without being beaten up and do it now !!!!!
If 2 Jewish teens robbed a black kid and broke his nose .
We would all be afraid to leave our homes for fear of getting hurt during the violent riots that would ensue .
It would be front page news and the boys would be caught within 5 minutes and sentenced to 20 years for a hate crime .
Yidden aren’t violent
How do we get these guys arrested and put in jail for more than 2 days?
It’s a free for all and we all know it.
Travel in groups , there’s no other choice.
until they have a bigger group…
to protect our kids and our rights is by going out and rioting
Are we now allowed to carry weapons on Shabbos?
we need to start protesting
we need to stand for our rights
and the only way to do that is to show that we have strength and they can’t put us down we just came out of purim where the jews had to defend them self against there enemies so to we should ,may g-d almighty protect us
just to note 😉 same is true regarding פסח and all other יו״ט
They don’t help and will cause more hate against Jewish people.
True but the Rebbe was all about Maaseh hu haikar
This doesn’t mean protesting but something has to be done!
Action needs to be taken so that it’s stops
We have to be able to walk around our neighborhood without fear of being beat up or worse Chas veshalom
This is why we all need flip phones
They only understand one thing force, if they will be between up they won’t do it again.
Can someone organize a protest in front of our police station with a huge turnout from our community? WE NEED PROTECTION NOW!!!
These people are a real danger and must be caught and imprisoned immediately. This needs to be done to prevent more violent attacks on our innocent children.
Maybe if they would catch this group and make an example of them then there would be a little less of a comfort to just beat someone up
And the same goes for every time something like this happens
If they run into a building call police helloooo
A building is their protection
Get the army
What is this?
Ch should host more often more “megaevents” kinus, cteen and what not. So at least would be more lights, policy, and security around. See how always collive makes a point of showing in our face all of this meetings pictures about “ensuring security for an upcoming big event”
So then, the adage will be 100% true and implemented : “A little light (another big megaevent) will disperse a lot of darkness”
Who else agrees with this?
I say it time and time again, we need to have our own security for our neighborhood. We fundraise for everything but this, and this matters just as much if not more!!!
Train our older bochurim and yungehleit to use stun guns, but warn them that these aren’t toys and that surveillance cameras will be used, when necessary, to back up their statements that they were using the stun guns to defend themselves and/or others from physical danger.
This isn’t a new problem in CH unfortunately and things like this happen every so often… will there ever be a breaking point for us as a community where we FINALLY SAY ENOUGH? Time to stop being gentle and start pushing for change! Who can we actually talk to instead of just filling the COLLIVE comment section??
