A 23-year-old Jewish man was shot with a BB gun in a drive-by shooting in Crown Heights Monday evening.
The incident occurred at about 10:30 PM on Montgomery Street near Albany Avenue, when a bullet was fired from a passing SUV and struck the victim as he was walking down the street.
The victim was shot in the head and the leg.
Hatzalah transported him to the hospital where he is being treated for his injuries.
The shooter did not say anything to the victim, police said. Police are currently searching for the car and the shooter.
Hate Crimes will investigate further, they said.
Chanina Sperlin of the CHJCC was in contact with 71 Precinct Commanding Officer Inspector Joe Hayward about the incident.
“Inspector Hayward informed that he has already added extra police coverage in Crown Heights following the incident,” Sperlin said.
“I will also pressure the precinct and the borough department to make sure our residents are protected.”

Out of the hospital very early this am.
It’s a wake up call we’re are we?
We must make a smashing demonstration in front of the police station
In borough park years ago they turned their precinct upside dawn when such a thing happened
Why do you say JEWISH MAN? Not proper for you to say A BOCHUR WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD?
First of all it was a BB gun and BH he is okay. More importantly the Precinct is deploying Cops since this morning and investigations are ongoing. They take this very seriously. They are doing their job. Why would you demonstrate against the people who are helping and doing their job?? If we want more protection, lets work with the cops and show some hakaras hatov.
Have you noticed that the cops only “react” and are not “proactive”? Only we can cover for ourselves, nobody else will. thanks to the shomrim for being there and doing what they do best.
Put pressure on the police & the city old & new candidates to keep our streets safe of crime !!!
It’s became scary to walk even during the day time
We need a new mayor who can handle crime properly.
This is terrible. Name of bochur for tehillim?
Name for Tehillim, please.
Refua shlema
They should proceed as a Police Officer was shot . This is a Terrorist Act against the entire Civil Nation. Enough Politics
Actions/Results NOW
Terrible, scary, hashem yerachem.
Refua shlaima!
We want police on every corner!!! Not just Kingston and empire where it is convenient for them
Is he ok?
Did the guy get caught?
He needs LIFE IN PRISON!!!!!
No exceptions.
We need Israeli service patrol to walk our streets
They are the top security and not afraid of anyone
As hidden we need to build our own security.
The police is a nice show, that’s all
Jewish lives matter
Say no more.
CH is not safe.
Cops don’t carry and it’s a jungle
Due to the very obvious dangerous increase in Crime affecting Crown Heights, those that can get involved to help out should. All our Young Chevra, Older Mature Working Bocherim & Yungerleit in Crown Heights should be highly encouraged to step up to the plate, to get involved a little & to be active to an extent in helping their community. Older Mature Working Bocherim & Yungerlait should really consider joining either Shmira or Shomrim. We can’t always rely on other people in our community to step up to the plate to helpout, But to actually lead by example and volunteer yourself… Read more »
To jewish lives matter!
We need to go out and demonstrate!
Let’s do something before it’s a real gun. Never have I felt so unsafe in NY. I am afraid to go on a train. When I finally did had a crazy person take out a lighter from his pocket and put it close to my face, thought that was it
Someone attending Chovevei Torah told me that there have been numerous situations lately of muggings and of harassers hassling the bochurim and showing weapons, r”l! All in the general vicinity of Eastern Pkwy.– often on the 770 side of the street!
And the revolving-door, bail-free current “justice system” makes the victims fear that if they press charges, retaliation is too easy.
Write a letter to your NYS Senator Senator Myrie and Assemblywoman Richardson. Google their information. They are the ones that pass these laws
Daven for Moshiach and vote Republican.
More police
Means more tickets. BH there is nothing 4 them to do but issue parking or sanitation tickets.
This has to get onto the media, make sure everyone knows exactly what is going on and HAS been going on in Crown Heights continuously. And WHO is perpetrating it. The good Jewish citizens of Crown Heights who created a beautiful community here when it was uninhabited are fed up. Let the police actually do something about it instead of issuing dubious vehicle tickets targeting our neighborhood- and if they are unwilling or incapable of doing anything about it, call in the FBI to catch the animal and put him in a cage like they did back when a member… Read more »
Where are the cameras. Can’t they get a picture of the car and shooter. You need also cameras from private homes facing street. It’s a jungle everywhere in NYC especially with this liberal government.
This is happening all over the city people are getting hurt killed for being at the wrong place at the wrong time, we need to work with the police not demonstrate at their preceint , I hope the man that got shot has a Refuah Shelemah
Don’t be mistaken that this was random. It feels better to think so, but it is not true.
we need to stop this! was he cought yet? how much people got injerd
Supposedly there was a huge amount of money/funds Allocated/Approved/Delivered/ Spent. Were is it, Were is it, Were is it
Just like everything else in POLITICS, just gone in the wind. NO SHAME/ ACCOUNTABILITY
Is Bocher ok ?
for davening and tehillim
Teach Sheva Mitzvos Bnai Noach to your neighbors while you are still allowed to speak with them. That changes behavior!
