Surveillance footage provided to COLlive.com shows a young Jewish man being chased by a non Jewish man at an intersection in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood.
The incident took place on Monday at 3:55 PM at Empire Blvd and Albany Avenue when the Jewish man was crossing the street and was suddenly confronted by a black man holding a large object.
Officers at the NYPD 71st Precinct said the attacker was arrested earlier for a petty larceny, for stealing orange juice from a deli shop at 592 Albany Avenue.
The man was given a Desk Appearance Ticket (DAT), an order issued by the police to appear in Criminal Court to respond to an accusation of committing an offense. He was then released from custody.
On the way home, the man was in possession of a tree branch and used it to assault a Lubavitcher chossid causing a cut and bruise to the victim’s shoulder, police confirmed.
Police and Hatzalah were called to the scene. The perpetrator was found a few blocks away and arrested again – this time for felony assault. The NYPD’s hate crimes unit was notified about the attack.
“We will be investigating the crime as a possible hate crime,” an NYPD official told COLlive.com.
VIDEO:
As reported, a Chassidic man was viciously beaten on Sunday morning in Boro Park. In that case, the attacker a 37-year-old named Farrukh Afzal who worked for the Church Avenue Car Service and was shouting at him in Arabic.
The judge who released this Arab is a Chassidic judge from Boro park. A woman no less. Never vote for democrats.
👍😁😂baruch hashem!
arrest all people who hate jews now!!!!!!!!!!!
i will not tolerate this much longer
Unfortunately that is what ‘law enforcement’ in crown heights has become. On Friday night of Shabbos Beraishis at about 8.30 pm a police car came to park in the intersection of union and kingston. There were about 10 people or so on the street still coming home from shul. A man in his 70s was walking by the corner grocery store on the sidewalk near the curb. The police car coming down kingston suddenly turned sharply and sped straight at him, this elderly man had to run backwards into the wall of the store to avoid them. Then, instead of… Read more »
In the Boro Park attack the DA did away with the hate crime charge. Time to vote republican down the line.
Of course it’s possible that he is an anti-semite and that this is a hate crime. But what is the real reason that he attacked to do? Probably because he felt that he was arrested and now getting a criminal offense record because Jews had him arrested for stealing. Now before you all jumping and say well people who still should be arrested, think for a moment, why did he steal the juice? He didn’t rob a bank, he was stealing juice! Why would a person steal juice? Sometimes force is needed. And sometimes common sense is needed. If someone… Read more »
Juniks, you responded so quickly! Thank you for being there and for saving the day!
I always bring my stuff to Stan’s to support the shechuna, now we see how he literally supports the community!
Omen he was
Thank you to the juniks for stopping this man!!!💪🏻👍🏻👌🚓🚑🏗🔫⚔🗡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👮🏻👨🏻✈
The perp will be released tomorrow morning, $7,000 bail, he will NOT be charged with a hate crime.
Please show up for news conference 3:30 pm in front of the cleaners to show support for our community and the victim
EMPIRE CORNER ALBANY AVE
Yes our dear Rebbe Said that and God also told us as Jews we have a lot of blessings but one is supposed to conduct him selves and do the necessary steps to make those blessings blossom and flourish they don’t come by it’s self.Wake up my dear friends
Land owners put the rent down so that more of our people can stay in and populate Crown Heights. Do yourselves and all of us a favor
The real question is if the DA will have the courage to charge this guy and the Boro Park attacker with hate crimes.
Advertising 7 Mitzvos!
Across the whole street
Like they welcome shluchim or other such grand signs
The attacker was probably on drugs.
What you really need to do is change crown heights and bring in neighbors who don’t commit crimes. It was done in Boro Park over twenty years ago by sorrounding Boro Park with Chinese. These people work and their kids go to school and this cuts down crime. Yes it is possible for a crime to happen but nothing like it used to be thirty years ago. Crown heights is having yuppies me ve in which is also a way of making it safer. No question. How many yuppies or Chinese attack Jews. Do the math. Slowly crown heights will… Read more »
I’m only surprised the cops didn’t blame the victim for having the chutzpah to walk on the street in broad daylight.
Hello NYPD hate crimes are taking place boro park, crown heights and this might spread. I have tremendous respect for law enforcement but I do not respect not fighting crime! Is NY turning into a European city where minorities are getting beaten simply because of their religion. It’s up to you NYPD to stop this in its tracks before it spreads and spreads!!!! Please put more cops on the street and patrol until things calms down.
Must put more police presence and patrols through out the community.
People need to learn self defense ,the guy should of fought back instead of running away.
Thank GD for the juniks who saw it and took action.
People need to learn from them and not sit around and watch yid getting beaten up
To # 6: And so would the Yid be Chas V’shalom!
5 minutes later students from bnos Menachem walking home cross that exact intersection. In broad daylight these things are happening. We need more patrol in our streets. For our and our childrens’ safety!
We left CH 15 years ago and never looked back. It has become nothing short of a lawless and corrupt existence with all of the underpinnings of a society akin to the the city of Sedom. The residents continue to delude themselves into thinking that they are living in a small slice of paradise, under the guise of the mantra; “Kan t’ziv”. The criminals brazenly operate without the slightest hint of fear of prosecution or accountability. The corrupt politicians, who will do or say anything to gain and retain power, continue to be portray the perpetrators as merely the victims… Read more »
Just wanted to thank the Juniks. They are the best!! Everyone , all ethnicities, loves them & so do they. They are the Eyes, Ears, etc of that street corner for many years. Anyone needs help, they are always there. Always helping someone, that’s the Juniks- Yasher Koiach. Its good they have the security cameras. We want Moshiach now!!!
unless these anti- semite terroists are hung publically it will continue to happen
If this was the other way around – a jew attacking a black – there would be riots on-end an we wouldn’t hear the end of this.
Now, it’s just another regular day in our expensive jungle.
Ditto!
it’s legal in NY, you can buy on amazon, clips onto your belt, just a few dollars
Yeah baby. 4 seconds reaction time – The way to go
hashem please protect us!!!
I understand that this guy was arrested and at the 71 and the police let him go. Then he attacks a Yiddish. I am a court reporter and work for the city on police brutality cases. These scum bags have taken the power away from the police. The police get written up for even a car stop and they looked at the perp wrong. How can we expect the police to protect us as long as there are defense attorneys
Saw this happen and now have to explain it to my 5 year old son
The Rebbe said Kahn tzeeva Hashem es habracha
Report immediately to the police!!!
You think this would happen in a state with concealed carry gun laws? Very little chance. Attacker would be 6 feet under.
Kudos to the Juniks for chasing the chaya
My son was threatened Buy this man today around 4 o’clock
I saw this as it happened in real time from my 2nd floor window across the street. The immediate response of so many good citizens was impressive.
Stop this now!!!!!
And give him an extremely strong punishment what will make them stop??? You need to catch this now in the bud and stop any more hate crimes forever
This is unacceptable and DO NOT let it go cuz B”H he’s alive and ok take this seriously to prevent worse chv that already have happened unfortunately
Please
Stand up and punish him severely like lifelong prison so no one else will dare touch or event attempt to approach a Yid Thank You! Moshiach Now!
