Video: Stabbing Victim’s Mother Thanks G-d for Saving Her Son

Speaking at a press conference in Crown Heights, the mother of the stabbing victim, Mrs. Rivkah Brikman, called on police to apprehend the attacker and thanked G-d that her son was not killed.

25-year-old Yehuda Leib Brikman, who had just gotten married two weeks ago, was walking home on Empire Boulevard Wednesday at around 11:40am when he was suddenly stabbed in the back by an assailant.

Today, a group of politicians and community activists, along with representatives from the police department, got together for a press conference denouncing this terrible crime.

      That is Letitia James the public advocate,and a very good friend to our Community. I am glad she came to show her support. Sorry you didnt like her facial expressions but she was nodding her head in agreement with Mrs Brikman.

      I hope the cops quickly catch the criminal who did this.

    Now that our “leaders” denounced the crime, I’m sure the perp is looking for the nearest precinct so he can turn himself in.

    Good work everyone!

    So where is Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson denouncing this hate crime by one of their own?
