NYPD Asks Public for Help Identifying Anti-Semitic Suspects After String of Violent Attacks in Flatbush

A trio of three males is being sought in connection with a string of assaults that took place last Shabbos afternoon in Flatbush in the span of less than an hour.

The NYPD said that it received similar reports on November 25th from three victims who had been attacked by a trio of individuals as they walked the street in broad daylight. The first incident took place at approximately 3:25 PM in the area of East 15th Street and Avenue L, with a 40 year old man punched multiple times as he walked home from the synagogue. The next occurred 34 minutes later in the vicinity of Avenue J and East 17th Street, when the trio punched and kicked a 15 year old boy. Just five minutes later, the group struck again, this time kicking a 27 year old man near East 18th Street and Avenue L.

In each instance, the perpetrators fled the scene on foot, and the victims, who all suffered minor injuries, refused medical attention.

All three incidents are being prosecuted as hate crimes.

Police are turning to the public for help identifying the perpetrators, all of whom are light complexioned with dark hair. At the time of the incidents, the first perpetrator was wearing a two tone grey Nike zip up hoodie, black pants and white sneakers with red laces, with the second wearing a grey and black zip up hoodie with matching pants and red sneakers with white laces. The third perpetrator was dressed in a grey bomber jacket, a red sweatshirt and pants and white sneakers with red laces.
