A group of African American youths reportedly attacked a Yeshiva student at Eastern Parkway and Brooklyn Avenue in Crown Heights on Monday at 6:30 PM.
According to a report, the youngsters snatched the 13 year old Yeshiva student’s black fedora and yarmulka and fled with the religious Jewish items.
A passerby was quick to chase one of the youths and caught him until the arrival of police.
The youth caught is 14 years old, and was arrested for possible bias crime and grand larceny. He will be taken to family court.
The NYPD Hate Crimes Unit is investigating the incident as a hate crime.
This incident is the latest in a string of recent violence in the Crown Heights neighborhood, including the torching of a school bus outside a Jewish school two weeks ago.
Five boys aged 11 – 14 years old were arrested in the bus burning, but will not face hate crime charges, police said.
Many residents have expressed concern over what appears to be a rise in Anti-Semitic incidents. The NYPD and representatives from Mayor De Blasio’s office met recently to discuss the community’s concerns and the NYPD’s response.
The NYPD has said they will be increasing Police coverage and visibility in the Jewish area, as the weather is getting warmer.
why is there always hatred- dont these african americans remember what is was like to be hated so badly?
when yidden will behave like yiddden then the gentiles will behave like they are supposed to, and better.
CHSP for your quick response
They ware arrested but let go with no punishment
He was not attacked BH!. They just grabbed his hat. Good job on the jewish brave man behind them who ran after them,and held them till shmira and police came. Most pathetic are the black crowd that gathers round to stick up for the perps. Yes grand larceny. Let them crack down on these kids now! May this be the last negative incident. Can we campaign for moment of silence in local CH public schools?
fight them out!!!!!!!!!!!!!
baseball bats ez-er to get and use.its what was used in the 1980-90 when blacks first gave us trouble,and it worked.also alot more intimidating when they can see the wepon, guns are usually conceled carry.
a lot of attacks are on eastern parkway….
It’s a pattern of targeting Jews by black teens , maybe new game ?
Where our community leaders? After a meeting with all police and talks , we are still unprotected……
Summer is here and more crime too …..
CH must hire Private Professional Security Patrol like any other expensive areas where crime not tolerated…. Or make all pressure on the local Prencint to put out patrolling crews
I Like the way you tackle the issue. If only the community would listen to you.
“no consequence?” What are you talking about.?
They were arrested.
please take your sarcasm elsewhere, or even better get rid of it completely- and actually it will not be ok just because you said it will be ok, a shturem needs to be made
We know you are upset, it will all be ok. No need to resort to CAPS. Only Trolls use CAPS.
Just calm down relax and take a chill.
exactly..get guns..and dont worry about anyone else, just arm yourself and dont give it a second thought.
AGREE! The communities, schools, churches…. Etc…. Need to hAve police & political figures address this issue with them! They need to show respect & tolerance as we’re always told to do!!!!
They should have community service and be penalized severely!
We love here too! This is our community & our children and we deserve to feel safe!!
Guns will help. Everyone needs to learn to shoot and carry.
We need to start rioting like they did in 1991. Will take care of the situation since the police don’t seem to. Trust me if we put the fear of g-d in them they will all stop. Right now they don’t have any motive to stop.
bsd
give out sheva mitzvos to all young blacks you see in CH
No kid in public school will listen to the police if they know they’ll get away with what ever they do as we see in the burning bus case
IS THERE A REASON WHY THIS IS STILL HAPPENING IN CROWN HEIGHTS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT??? 2 WEEKS AGO BLACK KIDS (NOTE I WROTE BLACK AND NOT AFRICAN AMERICAN. THEY ARE BLACK) TORCHED A SCHOOL BUS AND THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO CONSEQUENCE. DO THEY HAVE TO GOD FORBID KILL ONE OF US BEFORE ANYTHING GETS DONE??? WHERE ARE THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS TEACHING THE KIDS BASIC ETHICAL behaviour??? Enough is enough!!!
I was walking by and heard him telling the guy who was holding him down “my friend dared me to do it”…
Agreed, you are very right!
“The youth caught is 14 years old, and was arrested for possible bias crime and grand larceny.”
A bias crime, yes, but when did a hat and yarmulke constitute grand larceny?
No woman should be wearing a Tichel in public. The Rebbe was very pro-sheitel
Why can’t the police go around and speak to the public school students and put a stop to this – it should not be tolerated!!
I think we can all add in ruchnius because that helps with gashmius
More black Anti semitism.
instead of pointless meetings with community leaders, that talk about unity.
we need to demand that the black community publicly call this out as an attacks motivated by hate,and acknowledge the rampant anti anti semitism in their community and address it.
No gym!!!
Next will be blacks going for woman’s tichel a uh oh
you can thank obama for this “racism” against Jews. and hellary will be no better.
6:30 in the afternoon????????
All the schools need to unite and demand protection. They have a responsibility to the safety of their talmidim
Not african american
This never happened in my days it must be because of the eruv!!!!!

what do these boys not like about these yidden
Give CH residents a crash course on how to behave in these situations? This would never happen in Williamsburg.
And the police need to treat this very seriously. If they would have charged the boys with the bus burning, today’s incident would not have occurred.
You start talking about an eruv and look what’s happening in CH
