Flatbush, Brooklyn, NY – A Shmira member was pepper-sprayed on Shabbos afternoon in Flatbush, near the intersection of Avenue N & East 22nd Street.
The volunteer was sprayed directly in his eyes, after asking a female why she was ripping down posters of hostages kidnapped by Hamas. The individual pointed a knife at the Shmira volunteer, and yelled “Allah Akbar, I will cut all you Jews up”.
The member requested backup and the suspect was quickly apprehended by additional members. NYPD officers responded and placed the female under arrest.
The suspect’s family came down as she was being arrested and began making anti-Semitic remarks toward bystanders.
The volunteer was transported to the hospital for treatment by Hatzalah.
