Local residents in Williamsburg are furious about what they are calling an “NYPD coverup”, and demanding action.
Two months ago, on April 3, two Hasidic children were riding their electric hoverboard and a scooter on Marcy Avenue, when suddenly two teens ran up to them from behind.
One of the teens punched the 10-year-old Hasidic victim in the face pushing him off his segway. The suspect picked up the segway, and along with another friend, runs away.
The NYPD responded, and an investigation was done.
Two months later, residents have provided the video of the brutal assault, which strangely, the NYPD decided not to disseminate to the media and on their social media accounts.
Instead, the NYPD tweeted an image of the robbery suspect running away, never mentioning that this was a vicious assault of a young child – not to mention possibly a hate crime as well. If this shocking video would have been released by the NYPD, there is a very good chance that he would have been identified by someone and turned over to the police for an arrest.

remember that crime is falling and every cop needs to do their part to downplay it

One can make many egregious errors in government, and still remain in business. In private business there is competition.
Government is silly child’s play.
Willy is a strong community and they need to put all pressure to check this case again for the potential hate crime.

I was a victim when at the age of 7 if I recall correctly in 1978 visiting crown heights from shlochis in California my friend let me ride their bike and at the corner of crown and Troy three blacks from the next block blocked my path and robbed the bike from a seven year old The owner of the bike had a reaction of “no big deal it isn’t really valuable” years later while in yeshiva in Los Angeles at the age of 10 and 11 locals tried to steal bikes and stole bikes both While I was on… Read more »
You write clearly, reasonably and calmly. In any large (or not so large) city, in many neighborhoods (even with NO Jewish people involved, things like this happen frequently. Expensive things are an easy target for theft when owned by young kids and there’s no adult available to intervene. Yes, there are many anti-Jewish hate crimes but some of the things I read on here are generic crimes that have nothing to do with our religion.
