[ARRESTED: The Man Who Savagely Attacked Jewish Plumber Taken Into Custody]
The incident occured at approximately 12 PM on Wednesday on 39th Street and 12th Ave in Boro Park.
The victim seen in the video is a 54-year-old Jewish plumber by the name of Isaac Lofler.
Video footage shows Lofler’s van parked on the side of 39th Street. He appears to be packing up his van. While doing so, a shirtless man with a ponytail and beard is seen verbally assaulting him and telling him to leave.
Lofler goes back to the street to retrieve one more item, as the man keeps yelling at him about disrespecting somebody. Lofler tells him that he had told this person he was going to move. The man angrily yells back, “No, you told her no!”
It is at that moment that the man slaps him across the face, with enough force to knock him off his feet.
Police were called, but by the time they arrived, the attacker had fled the scene.
Sources tell VINnews that the victim suffered a swollen eye as a result of the blow.
Boro Park Shomrim are coordinating with the NYPD, and an arrest is expected.
Law enforcement sources tell VINnews that the incident is not being treated as a hate crime, as the matter was involving a parking spot.
I think I know that driveway. I worked next door for a few months and had issues of the owner of that “driveway”.
I looked up the property with the DOB. It’s an illegal driveway with a few outstanding violations for illegal driveway and illegal curb-cut.
Perhaps this will hopefully lead to remedying those violations.
I hope they catch the farshultina chaleria and hang him by his … But I know it’s New York so nothing will happen. Even if they catch him he’ll be out within 5 minutes.
Don’t call cops have a mob wait for him to come home and beat him to death
Perfect NYPD logic.
Because it is related to a parking dispute, IT CANNOT BE A HATE CRIME.
Does working for the NYPD require a pre-employment test to document a certain level of stupidity. NYPD is a joke.
WOW! The hate and disrespect. I’m sure he hits her too.
It looks like he lives there or very close by shouldnt be a problem to find him.
that sheigetz will get whats coming to him .
Yes…Brooklyn is a wonderful neighborhood. Time to go on Aliyah.
For those advocating going to Israel for safety reasons be aware. Two days ago the shot and killed a frum lady in her car. The hands of the police and soldiers are tied. Murderers are released by the hundreds. But if you hurt a homo you can end up in jail ten years. Sick society.
Why are we so weak and demure? Take back the streets and neighborhoods and be TOUGH. Fight back – hard. The notion the we can be kicked around will erode rather quickly.
hes already been released
Chevrah, sometimes we don’t realize how disrespectful we are to others (specificlly, to ‘lo yehudim’)
I see it all the time (unfortunately very often by chasidim)
I know im going to get a lot of thumbs down for this. But every time I see it, I cringe.
We forget. Till moshiach comes and takes us to Eretz Yisroel. We’re in galus.
