It's my son who was beaten.... I spoke to the attacker on my son’s phone tonight.... and then to his aunt. She says he is 16 years old “and she is not turning him in” When I told him there are detectives working on the case.... and the mayor’s office involved, she just laughed. I asked the boy why he had to beat my son so severely for a stupid cell phone ... he said “he wouldn't give it up” Mendy never got a chance to “Give it up” he was jumped and then blacked out.... he remembers nothing about the attack.

He received about 6 stitches in his mouth and all tests came out ok so far B"H. He is in the hospital overnight for observation. I was told his injuries look scarier then they are.

Thanks to the person that went over and stopped the Shvartzeh from continuing to beat Mendy to a pulp. I'm not sure he wants his named mentioned. Representatives of the mayor’s office came to the hospital tonight and two detectives are on the case. Let's pray that they catch the attacker. If these animals are never caught they have no fear and just keep attacking.

UPDATE ON MENDY’S CONDITION IN THE EXTENDED ARTICLE!

Mendy came home yesterday afternoon. Internally he is ok B“H. He suffered a concussion. He has about 15 lumps all over his head and face. The inside of his mouth was shredded. His eye is swollen half shut. After the swelling goes down the doctors can determine if he needs facial surgery for the broken bones in his face. As of 8 yesterday morning the animal that did this was still calling. All during the day I tried calling to offer a ”reward“ for returning the phone, but he never answered. We think he may have gotten rid of the phone. Probably someone told him how stupid he was for calling everybody.

Yesterday I signed a release form for Cingular to track where the calls are coming from and give the police the records. The detective gave me hope that through this they will be knocking on the door next week. I forgot to mention before how when I was calling Mendys phone the night of the attack, and was talking top the aunt, she said ”you are disturbing my home in the middle of the night” When we find out who she is she will see what real disturbing is! We appreciate all the concern. We have catch the animal that did this to my son and show the rest of the animals out there that they can’t get away with hurting us.

    Most phone there days have GPS so detectives can use a call to the attacker to identify their location. Do the detective know of these conversations and that you are able to make contact?

  • Chanina

    The NYPD should harbor no leniency on animals like the mug who attacked your son. We need to remove these creeps from the streets. Even last night, I saw three black thugs beat up one of their own girl friends on Brooklyn Avenue. There is no placce for this in New York.

  • not from around here.....

    I am so sorry about your son and wish him a speedy recovery. B"H he is safe with his family now.

    It does not sound like the attacker has any remorse for his actions, I hope he is found, his aunt should be arrested with him. Obviously she approves of this criminal behavior.

  • Chona Nosson

    If the attacker and his aunt are so stupid that they are using the stolen cell phone it should be easy for the police to catch them.

  • track -em down!

    did someone do something as simple as try to contact the cellphone company to track where the phone is? shouldn’t that be a feature available in the 06 of 2000?

  • lets get them

    even if they catch them they wont get much

    we have to go undercover in parked cars stay there all night

    when we see a guy just putting his hand on a jewish car window or tire we beat the crap of the guy and he will never return to this community

  • LipaSchnitzler

    “and she is not turning him in”

    hopefully she wouldn’t have to, but she can start looking for car pools to rikers island

  • To the mother

    To the Mother: The best hospital is Memorial Sloan Kettering in Manhattan. I suggest you get nothing less then the best medical care for your child. Some hospitals like KingsBrook are just plain inept (talking from experience) I don’t know about Kings County hospital (but judging by the Yankel Rosenbaum case I wouldn’t recommend them)

    Memorial Sloan Kettering is not just the best in cancer treatment; they are the best in just about everything.

  • Holtzy

    Support responsible groups like Shomrim or even join the Shomrim. Eligible people can even join the NYPD auxiliary which also patrols the community wth Jewish and Black patrols.

    Call..call..call.. and call Mayor Bloomberg, NYPS Commissioner Kelly, Community Affairs Commissioner Greenspon, City Council Member Letitia James, Assemblyman Karim Camara….let them know over and over the crime has to stop.

  • Glad I moved out of Crown Heights

    To the Mother:

    1. Send what you wrote above to all the newspapers in the town. Surely, one of them will carry this story.

    2. Once they catch this thug, sue both the child and the aunt for violating your sons civil rights. There are surely laws against knowingly harboring a criminal.

  • Mark

    the criminal is an idiot if the phone is on the police can look were the last ping was recieved and then be able to track him down. the aunt should be taken in for guilty by association and withholding info. if it were a jew beating a black, we would have riots now, the double standerd is crazy

  • dovie

    actualy the aunt can probably be prosecuted for obstruction of justice or something to that effect

  • To Mendy-s Mother

    My deepest sympathy for you during this time.
    I can’t truely imagine how upset and angry you must be. I believe that the attacker(s) will be caught and a shame on his aunt who would harbor him from justice.
    But I beseech you please don’t use racial slurs when refering to perpetrator of this horrible attack. This will only make matters worse within the community of CH as a whole. We need a better relationship with non Jews to put an end to these and other crimes.
    If attacks like these had happened in the non Jewish community they’d be marching to the local precinct and city hall every night to make a point and get some action.
    I encourage you and everyone in this community to take to the streets and demand action now not after something worse happens. We already have one un solved murder and countless attacks and acts of vandalism possibly even arson; what will it take before people realize that this, not petty politics is what we need to focus on with urgency.
    I agree with "Glad" work the phones and the web and get this story out there. Nothing puts pressure on the police and city to act like media exposure.
    May this unfortunate act of violence that has touched your lives be a distant memory for you.
    May we all merit Moshiach in our lifetime.

  • how sad!and true.

    i am sorry to say ,crown hights has no guts!!!
    thet will beat us,and kill us,ans know one cares!
    how sad this is.
    today there was not one cop on kingston ave or any where to be seen in crown hights!
    what does this tell you?

  • upset

    It’s because the police are scared of riots that it takes them so long to respond!

    They know that a) the blacks will riot over anything (even accidental injury), and b) the Jews WON’T riot over anything (even willful murder)!

    So when give he option to arrest a black or have an unsolved case of an injured Jew where "they did their best to locate the criminal, but just were unable to find him", they’d much rather no have to deal with the blacks anger.
    If you were to call 911 and report that there is a group of Jewish guys with radios holding-down and hitting a black thug, I will put money on the table the police will respond {in BIG numbers} before you even finish your call.

    To make a long story short, if we can convince the NYPD that it will not be worth it for them to let us smolder in the dirt, maybe they will actually start responding to our pleas for help.

  • Sam

    its not so simple, even if they know which area the phone call was made how can they know out of a million people who made the call.

  • Bless U

    To the Crown Heights Mother; a true strong, brave bas yisroel you are! For 2000 years we’ve known what goyim can turn out to be, and this is them at their worst. I sincerely hope the attacker, may his name be blotted, is severly punished for his crimes!! I am for death penalty but yea right they would give it!

  • gruntig

    if you spoke to the animal on your sons cell he should by now be at the precinct under arrest.

    there was a story a few months ago about a women who’s car was stolen with her baby and her cell phone in the car. she contacted sprint and requested of them to release the location of here cell, they refused without the right documents singed. the woman pleaded with them saying here baby is being kidnapped.
    they thank god found the car through a response to an amber alert. but she was furious with sprint. this story made it all over the news and sprint said they were working on changing the rules.

    but in our case im sure there was enough time by now to work out all the legal matters that may be necessary.

  • what are you waiting for !?!!

    call the cell phone company or call the detectives rite away and track him down now!!

  • Enough!

    We should learn from our brothers near the bridge to the Eastside who know how to take care of chayos like this

  • How Many of You Called?

    Just curious: How many people have actually called the city people listed, to complain about what’s going on? If you di, write "I called" so we can get an idea of how many people are really taking this seriously.

  • gruntig

    Enough!,
    it’s true what you say. in Williamsburg (if that’s what you mean by " near the bridge to the Eastside") no one dears touch anything that’s not theirs.
    if a guy breaks into a car, before he know is he is surrounded by 9 chaseidishers all with their radios and beepers!

  • we have go to do it!

    This is b’emes atrocious, we have to get a move on it.

    make a macho’oh-demonstration,
    do what williamsburg did!

    It’s all great and dandy that the police are friends with the shomrim/shmira, but what happens when it comes to actual assaults? kan tziva Hashem es ha’brochoh- yes, but we have to make a keili. get the police to do THEIR job!

  • Concerned citizen

    If this was the other way around youd have every TV station all over the place talking non stop. This was such a viscious crime that there are no words to describe the outrage. Where is Moshe Rubashkin? Why are you busy fighting Rabbi Shwei instead of doing your real job to fight crime? How come you did nothing to organize a respectable Shloshim for Efraim Klein? I guess your hatred towards Rabbi Shwei blinds you from dealing with the true problems we face.

  • lives on Carroll & Schnectady

    Please post the numbers to officials that should be called. Our community should be inundating the political leaders to put an end to the rise in crime. In order for this to be effective GIVE US THE NUMBERS.

    By the way, where are our own community leaders at times likes these?!?!?

  • In response

    In response to: "To Mendy-s Mother",
    I agree with your sympathies to the mother, and your plea for the community members to take action NOW before it becomes later than it already is ("an unsolved murder, and a child beaten" is already late as it is). I also agree with your idea of putting pressure on the authorities through media coverage.

    However I am forced to disagree with you on one point. You beseeched that we "don’t use racial slurs when referring to perpetrator of this horrible attack" as "this will only make matters worse within the community of CH as a whole. We need a better relationship with non Jews to put an end to these and other crimes."

    You make two points here:
    1) Don’t use racial slurs in reference to the perpetrator.
    2) We need a better relationship with our neighbors.

    I agree as I’m sure most of the readers of this site and members of our community do as well, that we do need a better working relationship with our neighbors.
    However, as far as the ‘racial slurs’ in reference to the perpetrator, I’m can’t say I know what you are referring to. After reading the letter (the article) twice, I still have not come across any racial slurs. The only thing I can think of the use of the term ‘animal’ in reference to the perpetrator of this horrid crime and the likes of him. If the term ‘animal’ in your mind represents racial slurs, or the reference to the likes of this perpetrator remind you of a specific race, then YOU are viewing this through a racist tinted periscope. Someone who can commit such a horrific crime for no reason, I’m sorry to say it, but that person is acting like an animal when they do it. And if that someone has no regret whatsoever of his crime, and would gladly commit the likes of it again, than he is still acting as an animal now.

  • names and wisdom

    i find this site to be just talk! some times it makes a person feel better to just to express there feelings.
    please understand,my dear crown hightsers,somthings will never change!
    i have kids of my own and as i grew up in crown hights i have seen many time how young and old black people call each others the N word.i most of heard this hundreds of times,but g-d forbid if you were not a black person and say the say thing.how ever how many times have you been called some kind of a jewish name or some kind of white name? i have-about 50 time over the years! some things will never change.
    but to stand by while your kids are being beat or killed is something else! this can not change!
    and if this dose not stop now,then it may be to late later.
    may g-d help us and and give us the wisdom to know how to deal with this.

  • Cel-Phone Tracking info

    Concerning Cel-Phone Tracking

    the phone could even be off but as long as the battery is in there you could trace it within 30 seconds b/c the phone gives out to the local towers a IMEA Serial(or something like that) every couple of seconds in order to register with the tower for voicemail etc.

    so if the police dont use it they can be legaly sued for not using their availabe (and easy) resources to catch the criminal

    and it dosent take rocket science all they have to do is call the phone company and they do a simple calculation using geometry and they know where you are

  • A Crown Heightser

    To Mendy and his family,
    a complete and speedy refuah shleimah and put pressure on the city departments (nypd, mayer, etc.,) may Hashem send Moshiach speedily inour days. Amen!

  • montrealer

    oh that sounds creepy but b"h hes fine just come move to mtl and nothing like this wiil ever happen 2 u again!

  • TO Montrealer

    Find my husband a job and we are outta here. They made an arrest tonight. The cell phone was sold to a guy named alex. Alex bought it from Levon and Levon supposedly got it from Issaiah. So Levon is in custody and maybe he’ll lead us to Issaiah.
