A man wearing a Palestinian flag was seen hanging around the front of 770 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights on Tuesday afternoon, frightening Jewish passersby in the area.
The man, who was seen walking with two other men, was wrapped with the flag and walking on the Eastern Parkway service road at approximately 3:15 PM.
With the current war and constant attacks by Hamas terrorists against Israel, “many are on edge about their safety, even here in the United States,” a passerby said.
“The individual seemed to be walking there with the intention of antagonizing people in the area,” another person told COLlive.com.
Passersby then chased him away, and he fled northbound on Kingston Avenue, a police officer said.
The NYPD has stepped up security in the area in response to the current war in Israel, and the NYPD 71 Precinct is aware of the incident.
“We already had added security there, but we strengthened it a little bit more and we made sure it spread out a little bit better,” a source in the NYPD told COLlive.com.

I wish they came on Simchas Torah

This guys don’t understand words they only understand valence I’m sure he’s going to come back tomorrow and hopefully he won’t know what hit him
Why is the headline “frighten people” we need to stand strong and be brave and stand together.

As someone who does not live in your neighborhood but has visited, I must say that your staying power is inspiring.
Where are all the police I did not see one policeman next to 770 this afternoon.
What are they meant to do?
We have freedom of speech in the US…
Freedom of speech was done away with a long time ago in the US . If you dont agree with the liberal woke agenda than they cancel you. I didn’t waste my time even to click on bidens speech on the war in Israel because i know he dosent mean one word of it. They dont care what happens to us, they only care about ukraine, illegals from South America and anything else that fits their agenda
Could be true.
But the police couldn’t have done anything, due to the official freedom of speech we have.
Not for blood thristy criminals revelling in the atrocities against the Jewish nation
Don’t be baited into providing pro-Palestinian propaganda which can be put on the internet showing “innocent” Palestinian supporters getting attacked.
I can imagine a situation where a Palestinian supporter would instigate a fight with a CH Jews, have his friend record it on cell phone, and use it as propaganda.. I think some Pro-Palesintian propagandists would even go so far as to create injuries for propaganda purposes. Please be measured in any response. There are many cell phones around – and public relations is a part of the war.

If you assaults someone for wearing a Palestinian flag you may be charged with a hate crime. He obviously came to provoke. Don’t take the bait!
was ritchie taylor informed of this?
Can’t imagine how much anger this instilled on those guys chasing him
Most disgusting flag on Earth, for an entirely gratuitous and invented nation.
