USELESS PROTECTION: Bochur Mugged at Gunpoint

An Israeli Bochur reported to the police that he was mugged at gunpoint by three assailants early this morning on President Street. The attackers were described as three Black males who allegedly shouted racial slurs while attacking him.

Crown Heights Shomrim reported that the police are investigating a report that an Israeli Bochur, who resides in the 1414 President Street dorm was mugged at gunpoint on the block at around 5:00am.

According to the victim, three assailants, described as Black males, pulled up in a white BMW sedan and surrounded him, while one pulled a gun on him and attempted to mug him. The victim told police that he couldn’t properly respond to his assailants due to language barriers and the assailants proceeded to beat him, although nothing was stolen.

After the attack, the victim made his way to the police command station on Kingston and Eastern Parkway where he reported the incident.

Police are attempting to corroborate the victim’s story, due to certain factors that render the incident as suspicious. Police are reviewing surveillance footage from the area in search of the vehicle fleeing the scene.

Once, and if, corroborated, the incident will be treated as a hate crime.

    I heard screaming on my block this morning at 5:01 am. It was 3 or 4 loud screams like he was yelling for his life. It wasn’t help. It was “Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh”

    In all honesty, it sounds like the bochur is making up the facts or embelishing it. the way he presents it kinda makes him sound like hes lying

    where is Al Sharpton..? ..oh wait.. only if its a black hate crime then he will show up

  • Sharpton in Boro Park

    to 5:

    When Gidone Busch was shot to death by police (1999) in Boro Park, a jewish resident called Sharpton’s office and said something like,“Now’s your chance to prove yourself.”
    Surprisingly, Sharpton and his “entourage” showed up in front of the 66th pricinct and demonstrated against police brutality.

  • Tazers are Illegal

    Tazers are illegal in NYC. Only OC spray is legal if bought in the pharmacy. Non of that would help you if the guy points a gun at your … head but its something.

  • TASER ???

    get a residence out of the city and you can put a shotgun over the rear window of your pickup truck, just like in the movies.

  • DeClasse- Intellectual

    They do not want to state this is a hate crime because it is not politically right. Just like you cannot condemn Obama for his support of gay marrage because that too is not politically correct. And, of course, the murder of halberstram is not a hate crime because that too is not politcally correct.
    Enough of this politically correct pafarish! It is time to protect ouselves, taser and pper sprays are good only if you are trainned in the usage. Frontseight, Vahalla Institue, the NRA have facilites available and trained personnel who can instruct you on how to defend yourself and when and not when to act.
    Give you odds, that the perps of crime know that their proposed victum, things might change.

    SORRY FOR THE BOCHER BUT MAYBE IF ISRAELIS WENT TO THE IDF INSTEAD OF KEVUTZA FOREVER THEY’D LEARN SOME DEFENSE SKILLS

  • They-ll try hard not to --corroborate--

    Out of the thousands of hate crimes that have occured in exactly how many have been ‘corroborated’ by the police? None, if the police have any say in the matter..

    What part of language barrier do you commenters not understand?
    You think the police magically know Israeli?
