    Police said that the first attack took place on April 7th at approximately 2:45 PM.

    Two boys and a girl made anti-Semitic remarks as they threw rocks at a 49 year old Orthodox man near Caffrey and Mott avenues. The female suspect showed the victim that she had a razor, but the group fled the scene after a passerby intervened.


    Several hours later, the group struck again, making anti-Semitic comments to a 48 year old Orthodox man near Brookhaven Avenue and Beach 17th Street at approximately 9:30 PM. A male suspect pushed the victim as a dispute ensued and the suspects fled in an unknown direction.

    Both incidents are being investigated by the NYPD as hate crimes.

    All three teens are African- American and were dressed in dark pants, with surveillance footage showing one wearing a black jacket with red hood and sleeves, another wearing a blue white and black horizontally striped hoodie and the third wearing a tan hoodie and baseball cap.

    Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Crime Stoppers Hotline by phone at 800-577-TIPS, by text at 247637 (CRIMES) and then entering TIP577 or online at www.NYPDCrimeStoppers.com.

    A reward of up to $3,500 is being offered for any information that leads to an arrest.

    Exercise your right to bear arms and self protect yourself. Do it before you no longer have that right or opportunity to even purchase a peashooter

    Community looked away while many housing units for low income were built under their nose as they were too busy endorsing Adams & looking aside as long as their institutions receive the handouts .We hate to see innocent people affected but this is only the beginning of the savages attacking & you know exactly who is to blame ,no other than your own community alleged leaders .

    They were all on the Yaffed payroll. They wrote a graduate level thesis paper, “Hasidic boys & Secular education: Religious freedom or state mandate?”
    Harvard & NYU both offered all 3 of them full scholarships.
