The incident happened near Eastern Parkway and Albany Avenue around 5:50 p.m. Wednesday, when the teen — dressed in traditional Hasidic clothing — was walking home. He told his mother about the assault, prompting a report to police.
The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force launched an investigation and later identified the suspect as 40-year-old Nicholas Jones of East New York. Jones was taken into custody on Monday and charged with aggravated harassment as a hate crime.
According to reports, the victim is the grandson of Devorah Halberstam, a longtime anti-hate advocate whose son was murdered in a terror attack decades ago.
Police said the investigation remains ongoing.
Was he already released without bail, and issued a free metrocard and a bologna sandwich?

Devorah Halberstam’s son, Ari Halberstam, was murdered by a Jordanian immigrant to NYC, when he saw Ari and his classmates in a van going over the Brooklyn Bridge. They were returning from Manhattan, where they had just visited the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Scneerson (z/l), in the hospital. He opened fire on the van, with an automatic rifle. The terrorist was caught, and sentenced to life imprisonment. There were thousands of Chassidim in 1994 in the streets of Brooklyn, who came to Ari’s funeral. There is a museum in Crown Heights, which I visited a few years ago. At that museum, one of the workers told me that she knew Ari Halberstam. It took the FBI nearly six years to classify that murder, as a terrorist attack. The ramp from on the Brooklyn Bridge entering Brooklyn, is named after Ari Haberstam.
