A man violently pushed two teenaged girls as they walked on Kingston Avenue near Empire Boulevard in Crown Heights on Monday night.
At approximately 10:30 pm, the girls were pushed by a man who was walking by, they said.
The girls called 911, and police did a canvass of the area, but did not find the suspect.
Police on patrol at around midnight saw a man matching the victim’s description, and placed him under arrest.
Police believe he may be the same man wanted for kicking a baby stroller with two children in it being pushed by a young Jewish mother on Monday. They are currently investigating.
Many people did and will keep on moving out of CH because of this. Soon CH will be a haunted and ‘who-wants-to-visit?’ place. With Chidon Shabbaton coming up, and out-of-towners piling in for a few days- these people will use this opportunity. These kinds of people are opportunists. The out-of-towners are oblivious what goes on here and even if they do know what happens, they should still be informed about what goes on here and be warned- NEVER TO WALK ALONE.
Carry pepper spray , mace, a gun. Stop being helpless victims waiting on police and politicians to protect you. Get it through your head they care nothing about you. Do something. Take a self defense course. Stop being sitting ducks
I think its time to take back the neighborhood. Lets stop talking and start doing. Jews in pre-nazi Europe talked but did not act. Now is the time to act….enough talking.If we act like sheep, we are treated like sheep.
Get those animals out of our community!!These attacks one after another are too much to bear!!
Don’t complain. Do something.
Where r the cops!!!!
Criminals in Crown Heights have a free ride. Everyone knows that by now.
Jews with baseball bats. that’s how it gets stopped. or mace or acid.
These attacks happened with men and young children during daytime, as well. So staying home is not an option. The girls often have projects and have a right to walk the streets safely. The perpetrator should be removed from this neighborhood period. He posts a hazard and should not be free to roam around.
This, plus the woman with the kids, and still people defending the animal instead of the mother. I’m ashamed of living in this community that has no manners and blames the Jewish mother instead of the perpetrator. The same goes for our representatives and activists. What a SHAME.
Females, yet alone Teenage Girls…
Should NOT EVER be walking alone at night anywhere.
