Arabs Scream ‘Allah Hu Akbar’ and Beat a Bochur

PARK SLOPE, Brooklyn [CHI] — A Lubavitcher Bochur became the victim of a blatant hate crime Tuesday evening at around 6:15pm in Park Slope. The incident unfolded inside the subway station on 4th Avenue and 9th Street, which is in the confines of the 78th Precinct, where a Middle Eastern looking teen snatched the Bochur yarmulke from behind and fled out of the station.

The Bochur, who on his way into the station notice a group or four teens sitting on the steps of the subway entrance, did not hesitate and began perusing his yarmulke snatcher, all the while just a few feet behind yet not managing to catch him. The pursuit continued right passed the sitting group and out into the street, where it came to an abrupt halt.

The ‘would be’ yarmulke snatcher ran right into the street and was struck by a passing car, sending him flying and severely injuring him. The others from the group then pounced on the Bochur, knocking him to the ground and with shouts of “Allah Hu Akbar” they began punching him in the head and face. The Bochur managed to dial 911 and give his location.

Police responded within moments by which time the group that was still able to walk had fled the scene. Police arrested the injured perp and called for an ambulance to take him to the hospital, he suffered two broken legs among other injuries.

The incident was classified as a hate crime, and police are investigating it.

The Bochurim told CrownHeights.info that “what is extremely disturbing is the social statement of this crime” he said, “these Jew haters boldness to commit such a crime in broad daylight in a street buzzing with activity”.

B”H the Bochur did not sustain any serious injuries.

    BH the bochur is OK and good job for chasing the punk into traffic. As for the terrorist, and that is what he is, I hope his broken legs get infected and he loses them. Better yet I hope his orthopaedic surgeon is a Kahaneist!!!

  • Nachie

    yet another reason to hate arabs. whoever said that “there are some good arabs” has obviously been lied to and has never met an arab. eisov hates yaakov, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

    the bochurim should walk in groups only, just as the Rebbe told the women to walk together.

  • Resident

    The lowlife, arrogant slob got what he deserved!
    I feel like dancing…in fact I will!
    The Arab is chayev misah for stealing over a pruta. He got away lucky.
    Maybe we’ll be even ‘luckier’ and this scoundrel won’t be able to have kids.
    Chaval, many autos didn’t strike the rest of them.

  • Feel bad for the bochur but

    The Nobel Peace prize ought to go to the driver who ran over the perpetrator. The driver is a real ish Chessed.

    I sure hope the American media grabs hold of this story: Palestinian Terrorism Comes to American Shores

  • hashem runs the world

    serves the arab right!!
    if the police wont take care of all the perps then g-d will

  • HP

    i just find it hilarious that the moslem, or whatever he was, got what he deserved by a direct act from G-d.

  • Stop the Hate

    Yep, Alah listen and took care of him, giving him two broken legs, thats what you get for messing with a Yarmulka.

  • Practical concerned Yid

    In case you are all wondering the Rebbe stated many times that when Israel gives in to the Arabs ,Jews all over the world suffer from it .So our real fight should take place in Israel and protest all the suicidel concessions they are making and CV” thinking of making.

  • sam kustanovitch

    Zalman,Thanks for being the yiddshe mentch- person you are!
    ah freilichen purim tzu eich un eire tyere mishpocha

  • Armed Jew

    I think we should all take advantage of our legal right to carry, and use, pepper spray. My wife and I carry it for such occasions when police are too far off but you want the criminal to stick around a bit…

  • Proud Jew!!!

    Etbakh al arabiye, saalam al yahud.
    Long live the jews. We’re here to stay. we’ve been persecuted for many many years, and we survived. We’re here to stay!!!

  • DontBuyFromTerrorists

    Not only are there Arabs in the shchuna but there are several Arab groceries that most probably support terror as they contribute to Islamic causes. The one store that I know definitely does this is the supermarket on Utica – do NOT shop there as they collect openly for a so called palestinian so called medical relief fund that most probably funnels money to terrorists YMS. I also have bad feelings about the grocery on Sterling and Nostrand, the newsstand near the 2 train on Nostrand, and am also very suspicious about the one mentioned on Union and New York (I asked the owner once what he was listening to in Arabic on the radio and he got VERY embarrassed because it was probably an anti-Jewish preacher of hate – I never went there again).

  • yiddishe self esteem.

    notice that the perp got what he deserved when this wonderful bochur had the guts to stand up for himself and his yiddishkeit. in other words, you have to initiate then Hashem is right behind you. of course, i cant speak for Hashem, but this A point of view that seems to fit?
    response from a mashpia?

  • stop the coments!

    wow i think e/o is taking this too far. yes this was very scarry and e/t but look at the good side the bochur is ok he was fine. i think that we should do s/t about it but writing these useless coments will not get us any further in life so i suggest that we take action in stead of sitting at the computer! all these coments do is spread more and more lashon hara! mabe just sit down and say some tehilim! that will help much more than this!

    This just shows how the Arabs don’t care for each other, ther friend just got hit by a car, do they go help him? NO. What Do they do? They beat up the Jew.

    As we see if you leave them alone they will only kill each other, but when it comes to killing the Jew they are all united.

  • YeHudit B.S. Shavach

    Indeed – G-d is great – nay – The Greatest!!!
    I just can’t stop laughing…
    *Don’t be surprised if he turns around and sues everybody – however, in the event, that will be even funnier that being hit and breaking his legs.
    HAPPY PURIM FOLKS!

    Every one should cary a tazer or shocker so that if you get attacked you can taze the prep. This will nock him to the ground and will hold him back from runing.

  • Medger Evers

    The problem with tazers and stun guns is that they are illegal. While carrying one might serve you well if you are attacked (which is very unlikely) it doesn’t offset the greater chances that you yourself will be charged with weapon’s possession and could go to prison for a year.
