Crown Heights, Brooklyn, NY – A Chassidic Jewish man was violently attacked on Friday afternoon, as he walked down the street in the Crown Heights neighborhood.
The possibly bias-motivated incident happened at approximately 3 PM on President Street between Utica Avenue and Schenectady Avenue.
The 32-year-old victim was walking down the block when he saw an unknown male walking toward him, police said.
Without provocation, the attacker turned to the victim and stated “what are you looking at?” the victim told police.
The male then punched the Jewish man in the head and face, causing injury.
Prior to fleeing, the attacker added, “the Nazis should have killed you Jews.”
Crown Heights Hatzalah transported the victim to the hospital for treatment of his injuries.
