A newlywed Lubavitcher Jewish man was rushed to the hospital on Wednesday after being stabbed in the back in Crown Heights.
While walking past the Ksav Sofer Shul on Empire Blvd between Kingston and Albany Avenues, the victim was stabbed in his upper back before 12 noon by a black male as he walked by the victim. The attacker then fled towards Albany Avenue.
Police are hoping that security surveillance at the Check Cashing Center located on the corner of Kingston Avenue and Empire Boulevard will reveal the identity of the assailant.
Hatzalah medical service transported the man, who is in his 20s, to Kings County Hospital. He was said to have a collapsed lung but is in stable condition.
An NYPD officer told COLlive.com that Jewish man was “stabbed once in the back by an unknown weapon” and that the reason for the attack was “unknown” at this point.
A source in the NYPD told COLlive that they will be increasing security on Crown Heights streets due to the incident, and extra patrols will cover the targeted area and make visits to schools and sensitive locations.
Senator Jesse Hamilton issued a statement in response to the attack.
“It is imperative that we stand together against the brutal violence visited upon someone just walking down Empire Boulevard – blocks from my office – earlier today,” Hamilton said. “Such heinous acts of violence will not be tolerated. And while it is too early to know the motive of the attacker, I do know this kind of attack is not representative of our community and the inclusiveness our neighborhood fosters and celebrates. I urge anyone with knowledge of the incident to come forward and aid the police in their investigation. I know I speak for the entire neighborhood when I say we pray for a speedy recovery for the victim of this outrageous crime.”
Please say Tehillim for Yehuda Leib ben Rivka Alteh.
say all kapitalach and torah and tanya ball peh by heart on the streets

The Rebbe told us to spread the 7 Mitzvos to as many goyim as possible to make this world a safe place for us. We should do everything possible to publicize the Sheva Mitzvos Bnei Noach in all public schools in Brooklyn and the rest of the world. Maybe we stand and give out sheva Mitzvos brochures on Empire and Kingston.
children are allowed to be violent to extreme degrees in public schools. teachers are blamed; kids are not disciplined. it is pretty clear that such violence would spill over onto the streets – and it has. what is the doe doing?
That guy Also needs a רפואה שלמה
we are raising land prices but undervalue our body prices ….. Where cameras ? Where Jewish Shmira /shomrim? Where Jewish policemen? Where our Rabbonim and Leaders of CH JCC ? And where are we simple Lubavitchers ?
With all around neighbors that are failed in hard economic situation and are blaming and attaching jews it’s called AntiSemitism and it a free land so say no to it
The active & silent support for blm is the direct & indirect cause for the hate & violence of blacks against Jews.
When I see a lot of police in CH I still don’t feel safe ….. Why the hate crime described as a regular crime … BH the young Jewish man is alive but he is a newlywed and instead of enjoying his new happy life he needs to fight for his life now ….
When I’m walking with my kids I feel unsafe!!!
Please , CH leaders do something to protect Rebbe’s headquarters!!!!
Look how the Rebbes words are coming into fruition, now more than ever “the safest place for a jew is eretz yisrael”
he should go to jail refua sheleima !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the fact that I live right here. this is really crazy. hope they find him.
Don’t forget about the Rebbe, who he is, and that he still is the Rebbe for good reasons and that he is dor 7, all 7s are dear… The Moshe Rabbeinu of our generation, nasi, Moshiach. It ought to be still fresh with all of us and we should take this message to the world. Thus we may succeed. Or else it’s all not true.
I do not say this as a racist, but the difference in the stop and frisk you suggest might just be..whether or not a weapon is found………
Tues 30th of Shvat was the “10 Yartzeit” of Reb Efrayim Klein, from Crown Heights. It’s 10 years & that case has gone cold, & nothing has been done about it. Y is this OK, in WB (Williamsburg) they wouldn’t let this man live, you in CH (Crown Heights) has this despicable individual been let 2 roam the streets of Bklyn & the world in general ? There were conference meetings, businessmen offering rewards 2 find the killer, nothing has come of it, the murderer is still @ large, in Williamsburg as I said he would b brought 2 justice… Read more »
Reb Dovid Katz always on the scene 2 help. Thank u

would have made a march on city hall in 2 minutes!!! Jews get together and make a racket or nothing will get done!
This stabbing is going to be swept under the rug, I was in 770 around 12:30 and nobody was talking about it, like nothing happened, I found out that a Jewish kid got stabbed in Crown Heights through the news, I cant believe that nobody even mentioned what happened,
Oy veh. – didn’t hear about that. Where on Carroll ? Any other details so we can protect ourselves ?
OMG WHAT HAS THIS WORLD BECOME? THIS IS HORRIBLEEEE!!!!!!!!
What does Jesse mean by “won’t be tolerated?” Just what does he plan to do, even if the guy gets caught? The revolving door or justice will see him out on the streets a few hours after his arraignment….free to do it again
This may be the same guy that tried entering homes on carrol St. A few weeks ago wielding a knife.
He was wearing the same outfit that this guy was wearing – hoodie, backpack, right handed knife wielding.
The NyPd ha sno real intention or will to do their Job right when it comes to Jewish Victims There was not one member of the community etc. @ the pres conference no one is speaking out including Chanina who was in 770 @ around 1pm like nothing had happened no one is talking about it as usual it will be swept under the rug Jewish Blood is cheap
Go to the police so you could identify the perpetrator through a sketch artist.
I was brutally mugged in broad daylight in the streets of Crown Heights 6 years ago…..The NYPD never found the assailant, and closed the case within a month…….Still nothing is getting done. The politicians in our neighborhood are always having press conferences where they pour out their “condolences” for the victims, and promise new measures to secure the neighborhood, such as the comment about above about Dov Hinkind….my friends, it’s all lies, we need to start taking control of our streets ourselves. I’m sure if the Rebbe was around he would approve this.
The Wine Store and the building in the corner of Empire/Albany were stabber is walking toward has a video camera, get a picture of the face and publicize it everywhere till this trash is coat and hanged!
Someday I’ll be a resident in N.Y. Weather it’s Crown Heights, Boro Park or wherever it may be I want to live somewhere safe. MOSHIACH NOW ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
!!!!
To #22 pls call shomrum with your info!!
we need to take things in our own hands. Arm ourselves with any weapon that is legal…Carry our own knives, pepper sprays, knuckle busters, baseball bats etc.
WHERE THE HECK ARE THOSE CAMERAS YOU PROMISED TO INSTALL ALL OVER CROWN HEIGHTS????
How did he get to the check store? was he able to walk?
besides all ideas how to add protection in crown heights we must increase in our yiras shamayim individually and as a whole.
besides that how about helping the situation with oholei torah -the rebbes a mosad in crown heights -getting out of the mess.
It’s way time that some clever business man or women set up a shooting school in each Jewish area. Don’t sit and wrong your hands it is not against the law to carry a pistol tg. Drummers accept the fact that the Jewish soldiers carry guns so what’s the difference the Jews must fight back everywhere now please someone open a shooting school
Lets see if he had a gun instead of a knife this guy would be dead. So Thank GD for some gun control. Bloomberg is a meddler who tells you what you can drink and what size. Frisking will not stop at only black people. Do you believe that because you are a jew you will not be frisked??? To make a point of this they will frisk the white the jew then the black to prove this is not about color.
This is crazy, crazy, crazy! Hashem Yishmor.
Bring back the JDL, I agree.
Bring back the Jewish Defense League of the Seventies. The NYPD obviously needs help
I saw this guy on kingston today between 11:20am and 12pm. Stores should check their surveilance cameras for more pictures…
Sorry to read of this ,
May he have a refua shalaim.
I heard that years ago when there was this similar trouble,,
The Rebbe said to increase security. May there be good security!
we need subsidized surveillance cameras….more and more of them.
Galus. Duh.
that’s why we have to ask for Moshiach instead of being or heads in the sand trying to live “good” lives in Galus… that’s what the Rebbe always says
Yehuda Leib ben Rivka Alte
Ha Ha
What’s going on can you do something already? Not another press conference, we need results!!!
This is not how we want Macht Day Eretz Yisreal!
Get your guns before the next holocaust
Full name for refuah pls
Refuah Shelaimah
The press is saying that Bloomberg would not get votes from minorities (if he runs for President) because of Stop and Frisk. Well, Jews are a minority – and we want Stop and Frisk.
Yep its crazy nothing you can we can do from here except let the NYPD do there job
America has shown clearly that it is ok with terrorism in Israel. This is a YES to terrorism in general and has given carte blanche to anyone with psychotic tendencies to victimize the nearest Jew. The only way to stop it is to come down so hard on this monster that all the rest of ’em are terrified to even try. Huge media coverage showing strong actions taken against the maniac and denouncing him would be a strong deterrent. We have to be proactive.
Maybe we should take a way knives since knives can be used to stab? Oh wait the knife doesn’t stab unless someone does something with it. Maybe if someone had a gun they could have shot this menuval so he would not get away. I know it is the enlightened Yankees who want to have gun control.
Crazy
we need to do teshuvah , and to be happy
and love each other like one family.
were should we run to? to 770 .. to spread the sheva mitzvoth…
