Purim Assault – Bochurim Beaten
CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — At around 8:30pm tonight, Tuesday; two Israeli bochurim were assaulted on Albany Ave and Crown St. Both bochurim were beaten and sustained injuries all about their bodies, BH nothing serious.
It happened as the two bochurim were walking up Albany Ave, when they say someone or something hit them. The two were intoxicated and unaware of who hit them.
A passerby called Shomrim, who were seconds away. The bochurim were covered in blood and were bruised all about their bodies. Shomrim tried to calm the duo, while calling Hatzalah for their injuries.
Hatzalah responded within moments and treated one bochur for lacerations to the face and body. The second bochur was visibly more intoxicated then his friend, however was only slightly injured and refused medical attention. Hatzalah then transported the first bochur to Kings County Hospital, where he will probably receive stitches to his right cheek.
The police currently have no suspects. The bochurim were intoxicated and confused; did not know what happened, nor who hit them.
A Shomrim member said, “From the injuries it seems that they were hit by a sharp metal object.” He went on to say, “The two were intoxicated and all riled up, but could not give any sort of description”, as to who hit them.
Chilul Hashem!
Very sad! Rachmonus on these bochurim!
Drunkerds belong indoors, not out on the streets!
Shliach who sees the damage Alcohol caus
were they underage for drinking, maybe the police should be encouraged to find out who gave them mashkeh and put away the perpertrators!!
Alcohol is a dangrous drug! We need to begin locking up the offenders who give kids mashkeh!
Al pi halacha the person who gives out Mashkeh has a din of a rodef and one is permitted to report him, even though they will sit for a long time.
Chaim
The Rebbe Said:
If Israel gives away land that Hashem gave then in a miraculous way. This will put the lives of Jews all over the world in Danger.
moishie
Sorry but it’s hard to feel sorry for them.
shame on you
what is wrong with you people?????Just bec they were drunk, it is ok to beat them? Why the hell aren’t you blaming the perps?The animals who did this to them?Israel giving away land…what have you been smoking and how is this relevant to 2 people getting assaulted? It’s ok to drink on Purim and maybe they got carried away.Gd forbid any boy should be hit like this.shame on you all!
Enjoy the Purim Spirit!
There is nothing written about the age of these bochurim, so all of your comments are in vain until you find out facts!!
Also, although I DO NOT recommend, or agree with alcohol, (ask anyine who’s been to our Chabad House), It’s PURIM!! Live a little! Life is TOO SHORT. or have you not noticed? Once in a while, it’s a MITZVAH to drink. Doesn’t sound like they were doing anything wrong, on the contrary, they were WALKING, NOT DRIVING R”L!!

What do you mean by:
“Sorry but it’s hard to feel sorry for them.”
Your fellow Jews where badly beaten up, probably by goim and most likely with sharp metal object
“The bochurim were covered in blood and were bruised all about their bodies”
You can’t feel sorry for them?
Where is your ahavas Isroel?
It’s one thing to condemn not responsible drinking and other to feel sorry for somebodies pain.
In Crown heights it happened unfortunately many times when bochrim where beaten very badly and that doesn’t matter if they were drunk or not.
What really disturbing that some people in the street really hate us and looking for opportunity to hurt us.

Being assaulted, drunk or not, is terrible. So you should feel sorry for them, Moishie.Of course, if they were sober, they may have been able to identify them. But still, an assault is an assault.
Addressing the habit of getting smashed Shabbosim, Purim, Simchas Torah, it’s Tuesday, whatever, is another issue.
Meanwhile, why are the hoards of cops who are quick to give tickets never there when anything happens?
Yaakov Rudd
Good grief, people! It was Purim! Doesn’t anyone believe in “Ad d’lo yada”? Not have rachmanos on Yidden who were celebrating one of our most joyous holidays?
I’m sure most of us have partied a bit too hard on Purim on occasion, and I only wish these two a refuah shleimah, with no blaming them at all.
Elliyahu
This is a time when the criminals take advantage of
Jews who are not “on guard” in their normal mindset…
May Hashem catch up with these black punks and teach them a good lesson….. one they’ll never forget.
And our lesson is ALWAYS Keep your partying within the confines of the simcha hall, not down in some black hole street called Albany away from the crowd!!!!!!!!
Pachad Mordechai
Shame on every one of you who is attacking the bochurim instead of the criminal who did this and the rising crime rate in CH. The crime rate has become and will become even worse ever since the election made these behemas think they have power over their betters who in fact pay taxes that allow these behemas to survive and keep breeding without working!
Yesterday was PURIM last time I checked and there is no reason why we should have to stay inside on any yom tov for fear of attacks by 2 legged animals.
This would never happen in Williamsburgh!
What happened to “venafal pachad Mordechai aleihem?”
UNBELIEVABLE
what does being attacked by savages have anything to do with their drunkenness. I can’t believe the twistedness of some people – chassidim.
They were attacked most likely by our “neighbors”. Is there any excuse for that??? is it their fault we have animals as our neighbors.
Feeling good
The only good thing is they were feeling no pain.
depressed
oh,vey! we need moshiach. there’s too many hardships.
mendel
MAYBE THEY SHOULDNT BE DRUNK NEXT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ummm
Umm,, Yesterday I was out and about, I noticed more cops than I can count. Where were they? Perhaps giving tickets to double parkers instead of patrolling the streets the way they are supposed to?
While I cant say I agree to getting drunk, (In the Rebbe’s words, “No more than a revi’is,”) No one should have to be terrorized for walking the streets of crown heights.
sceptic
They get in a drunken fistfight and blame it on an unknown person/thing…
Great!
Michush
What’s the difference wif they are Israeli?
omg
830 ??? where were the cops at that time??????
thats crazzzzzy!!!!! its not even late at night and they get beaten !?!? maybe shomrim members should be assigned to a block amd do the exact opp. of what the cops do ..protect ch!
Milhouse
Wow. Just wow.
The first commenter, instead of being horrified at a crime on the street, is worried about the “chilul hashem” of the victims having been outside instead of inside. And if they’d been sober the story would have been any better? Exactly what is this supposed “chilul hashem”? Who is thinking less of Hashem because some bochurim got drunk on Purim? The cops?!! They get drunker every day, when they come off duty. They’re used to dealing with drunks, it’s normal for them, and they don’t think anything of it. Don’t be so klein-keppeldik.
Then we have the second commenter, who’s even worse. I don’t believe he is really a shliach, but if he is then we’re in big trouble. Since when do we recognise 21 as some sort of special age? Just because a stupid Congress said so 25 years ago (and may easily change its mind tomorrow)? If it’s OK to give mashke to a 36-year-old, it’s OK to give it to a 16-year-old. If “alcohol is a dangerous drug” then what difference does it make how old someone is?
And how is whoever gave them the mashke a rodef? Did he cause this incident? They didn’t walk into a pole, or into traffic, they were beaten by a sheigetz, a ben homon horosho. In fact a rosho just like you, who advocates massering a yid. And you call yourself a Lubavitcher?! After the experience Lubavitchers have with mossrim? Back in Russia mossrim were drowned in the mikveh. Think about that. Whatever beef you have with those who give mashke to bochrim, it doesn’t come even close to the vileness of a mosser, r”l.
By the way, when I was three years old your alleged meshale’ach offered me some mashke. Maybe you would have massered him too?!! Shomu shomayim, that this is what Lubavitch has come to.
ummm myself
to ummm
it might be some crown heights residenst were dressing up as cops
Shame on the Drunks
FOR THE RECORD….. IT WAS DRUNK ISRAELI BOCHURIM AGAINST OTHER DRUNK BOCHURIM

“Al pi halacha the person who gives out Mashkeh has a din of a rodef and one is permitted to report him, even though they will sit for a long time.”
Oh? Please publish the Psak Halachah you are relying on. Or pipe down.
yehuda
shliach got it so wrong, if you children hide a problem from you because of blame, YOU WILL BE AT FAULT !
Passerbyer
For the record, I saw them fighting- they were beating each other!!
Milhouse
“FOR THE RECORD….. IT WAS DRUNK ISRAELI BOCHURIM AGAINST OTHER DRUNK BOCHURIM”
How do you know? Were you there? Did you see it? Were you perhaps the assailant? If not, then why would you assume such a thing about a fellow yid, especially when there is a much more likely explanation? When you hear hoofbeats, you think horses not zebras; and when someone is beaten on the streets of Crown Heights, it’s not likely to have been done by a yid.
crown heights
i personly know these bochrim and they are not the drunk type they just were a littlee drunk beacuse of purim and were knocked in the head and blacked out probly by a Black how dare any one blame THEM??? for a stupid black man who hit them are you crazy just bec you heared the word isrealie bochrim??????????Shame on all of you
