Crown Heights, NY – A Jewish male was attacked by a young black
man at Medgar Evers College on Wednesday evening in Crown Heights.
The victim, a student at the school on Crown Street between Bedford and
Franklin Avenues in Crown Heights, was talking with other students in a hallway
of the college’s science building at approximately 7:30 pm when he was
approached by a black man who punched him in the stomach and face and yelled
anti-Semitic remarks at him, police said.
The victim, who was wearing a Yarmulka, asked, “why did you hit
me,” to which the attacker replied, “I don’t like Jewish people or
white people.”
The victim did not require hospital treatment.
