Passerby Prevents Mugging, Mugger Apprehended
A passerby driving down Carroll Street witnessed the attempted mugging of a young Jewish girl and sprung into action, preventing the crime and apprehending the mugger – a 13-year-old. Police are asking for the victim to come forward.
The incident occurred at around 3:00pm on Carroll Street between Kingston and Albany Avenue, the witness was driving by when he observed a sizeable group of black pre-teens surrounding a girl and one of them was struggling to grab an iPhone out of her hands.
He jumped out of his car and shouted at the group, all of whom began fleeing, leaving behind the phone and a scared victim.
The witness then chased after the would-be mugger, who fled into a nearby alleyway, where he was stopped. A large group formed and held the mugger until police arrived.
While waiting for the police friends of the would-be mugger attempted to wrestle him free and flee, while other rabble-rousers tried to turn it into a racial incident, but by then police arrived and took the kid, who is 13-years-old into custody.
Based on the witnesses testimony the police arrested the kid, and reached out to CrownHeights.info and asked that the victim come forward so that they can charge him with the attempted theft. If anyone knows the victim, have her call the Community Affairs Unit at (718) 735-0527.

That is typical, the suspects started and then cried like little sissies. Hopefully the book gets thrown at the hoodlum that was arrested. The Jews have the right to defend themselves from anti-semitic clowns.
