Man Assaults, Pulls Gun on Two Jewish Men

Yesterday evening at around 9:30pm, two Jewish men were assaulted and threatened with a gun in the heart of Crown Heights, in what appears to be an unprovoked attack.

The incident occurred on Carroll Street between Albany and Troy Avenues. The two Jewish men were passed on the sidewalk by an African-American middle-aged man. Though the two insist that there was no physical contact between them, the man shouted at them “Don’t touch me.”

The two chose to ignore this provocation and continued on their way. This only further riled the provocateur, who continued shouting threats and epithets at them.

When the two finally turned around and asked the man what he wanted, he lunged at them and punched one of them in the chest.

He then pulled a small handgun out of his pocket, at the sight of which the two men ran across the street and called the police.

Seeing that they were on the phone, the perpetrator fled the scene.

When police arrived, the victims were taken in a vehicle and canvassed the area in an effort to find the perpetrator, but to no avail.

A police report was filed at the scene.

    DID ANYONE’S SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS RECORD IT????????????????
    Now Im also believing that what I saw was good advice, to subsidize surveillance cameras for everyone.

  • Just saying

    It’s time for some photo ops with chadidah and vadd hakal morons.

  • But the police are ticketing Bicycles

    It comes from the top-down. Trickle down scummery in the highest order.

  • SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE!!

    fellow crown heights residence, we cant continue living like this, every few weeks Jews being attacked in the street of crown heights, something needs to be done NOW.

  • Camera

    A friend ofmine has cameras installed on the odd # side of that block. Leave a way for me to contact you below so that I can pass on the contact info. Hopefully the man will be caught!

      It isn’t biased cause it’s right there…that they say this happened and that they called the police. We believe them cause this type of thing happens semi-weekly if not weekly and also there is zero incentive (zero as in ZERO) for yidden to make this up and call the police and spend time in a cruiser to look for some dude who even if caught will likely be back on the street in a few months if not sooner.

      I am not implying that the Jew concocted this story. I just find it to be very unlikely that what they are saying is one hundred percent true.

    Crown heights has been like this for over Twenty years. Thank G-D I moved out of Bklyn, to raise my family elsewhere. But I can still remember the riots from 1991′. Will there ever be peace & Certain ppl. stop always using the “race card” as an excuse” blaming Others for their “own” poor upbringing/choices.
    You got me, but Enough is Enough!

      In truth, you are wrong. No one ever does anything for completely no reason. Now that reason may be completely distorted, but still reason. And that reason may not even pertain to the victim. Regardless, its hard for me to believe that these Jews were attacked for completely no reason. And no doubt they could have handled the situation better. Are they wrong for not dealing with it better? No. But nonetheless whether they were did anything or not, a simple sorry could probably have prevented the situation. Im sure they would rather have taken the blame for something they didn’t do than to have been threatened with a weapon.

      That is insightful, the rant about reason, no really, it was. And of course it’s impossible to believe that this man did that for a reason that he had because he is sub-human cause never ever do people hit people in CH for games or kicks, never ever.

      No doubt they could have handled it better but that would have required some serious martial arts know how.

    It’s a good thing that due to NY’s strict and unconstitutional gun laws no criminals have guns, therefore this simply didn’t happen. If it had happened it would be frightening for the generally law-abiding Jews who are disarmed by the Fascist NYS and NYC gun bans. It since guns aren’t allowed, it didn’t really happen, which is good. (It still makes the article confusing, because it appears to have happened when of course it couldn’t have, since guns are banned.)

  • Here's a practical suggestion

    Move!!!!!! There are lots of communities that are safer, have lower cost of living, and a greater quality of life. Shechunah’s change, we left Lubavitch, Roztov, Riga, Warsaw … wake up, it’s time to say goodbye to the slum that CH has unfortunately become.

    The Jews moved out of Crown Heights in the late 60s & 70s along with the Italians & other White ethnics who moved out of most of that part of Brooklyn such as Canarsie in the 80s & 90s.It was a dangerous area however their was a period of false security in the Guiliani years now its back in vengeance & the Chabad Jews are not like the Italians or the Williamsburg Chassidim who show strength , are being constantly threatened in that location.The pathetic hipsters from middle America who think its cool to live their need their head examined to live their, however slowly after getting robbed of their I phones & beaten perpetually they are leaving .The only answer is to demolish someone who attacks you or move out .They endanger the lives of their families by living their .Fight back or move out .P E RI O D .
