A person threatened multiple Jewish children with a large knife.
The incident occurred this past Thursday afternoon as the children were walking home from school.
As the children reached the corner of Carroll Street and Albany Avenue, the suspect approached the children and threatened them with a large knife. The suspect then approached another group of children with the knife. Miraculously, both groups of children were able to flee to safety without injuries.
A police report was filed.
Shmira has released a photo identifying the perpetrator.

He’s probably staying at one of the many new homeless shelters recently opened in CH area
you mean the ones they haventsarted building yet?
wish people would educate themselves before making unfounded statements.
There are already multiple shelters in the area as well as kings county psych facility which irresponsibly releases mentally ill people out on the street still in their hospital gowns. they have plans to build more.
Even with all these pairs of policemen, sitting together in their vehicles all over the neighborhood?!?!
What are they doing?
Policemen are not supermen. Their units can respond to crime, but their effectiveness as a deterrent only goes so far.
Think about it rationally, if there were police patrolling over there then the perp would have done what he did in another location.
stop blaming your issues on the police.
Law and order people !! Next time vote for the right people in to office
And with police cars sitting so close by!!!!! What is the solution with these animals
They’re busy watching stupidity in their cars instead of having their eyes on what’s going on around them. I’ve seen this many times. I don’t know what regulations are in place for that. I would assume it’s illegal for them to do that while on duty but that’s what’s happening.
No it’s just that criminals don’t commit crimes where there are officers patrolling so how exactly do you expect them to catch them in the act?
Even with all the police everywhere!!! Also why are the police sitting in their cars, they should be on the street , there should be standing on corners walking around !!!!
This is insane, what is it going to take !!!!!
When is this gonna end
Everytime I open COLlive Shomrim is looking for someone
Could we stop it already
Let me guess he’s in that building that the cops don’t go into, the same one that the five guys from the other attacked escaped through
No words. Our children and grandchildren are in danger every day just going to school
It goes without saying that, even in the “safest” cities in the world, children and young women should always have Jewish adult supervision and escorts. But in NYC, this is not obvious?!
Kids , teens and adults should b able to walk down the block without fear.
It’s not too much to ask
It says shmira
like it matters…. Jewish kids lives are at risk and inserting politics?? what are your goals here?
Is that too OBVIOUS????
No! This is absolutely a NO tolerance zone in our great neighborhood Crown Heights, take it or leave it. The cop’s have, and need to have, respect for our great neighborhood. (Not sitting in their cars and having a laugh) be serious for once. In order to do this law/or no law, once a person even step’s forward, mogging/ stealing or whatever the reason may be, act should happen IMMEDIATELY, with a button, Cops/Shemira…… Whatever it is. Handcuff. NO EXCEPTIONS. And they should get hefty punishment. Must be done IMMEDIATELY, and NOT to Waite for the Court’s. Not so that… Read more »
3-5 years MINIMUM??? While true that would serve as a good deterrent, the punishment has to fit the crime.
How about 3-5 months? It would be much better than it is now, with them being released right away, but still give them a chance to repair their life if they choose to.
