Brooklyn,
NY – A Brooklyn synagogue was attacked by a crazed anti-Semite Thursday
morning.
The
incident, which occurred at the “Apta” synagogue on Lee Avenue in Williamsburg,
was captured by the synagogue’s security cameras.
While
the circumstances behind the attack are unclear, witnesses said a man burst
into the synagogue just after morning prayers, attacking a group of congregants
who had stayed on to study Talmud.
The
attacker tried swinging a ladder at the congregants. When he failed to injure
anyone, he became even more enraged and began overturning benches and tables.
Those
present in the synagogue quickly fled, notifying the police and Shomrim, a
local Jewish neighborhood watch group.
Members
of the Shomrim quickly arrived and detained the attacker, holding him until
police officers arrived and took the man into custody.
