Unseen Assailants Rob and Brutally Beat Man in Crown Heights

A 35-year-old man is recovering from serious injuries after muggers nearly killed him in Crown Heights on Friday night.

At around 8 p.m. on Friday night, George Chen, 35, was heading to a friend’s house from the 3 stop at Kingston. While walking on Park Place and Hampton Place, he was assaulted by unseen attackers, who beat him with a bat or metal pipe—police say they also stole his wallet.

Chen suffered extensive injuries, including a laceration to his head that required 20 staples, a laceration in his mouth, and fractures to his face and jaw. He also lost a tooth, and many of his other teeth are loose.

Chen provided an account of what occurred to The Gotahmist, which can be read here.

    “Play it again Sam”. Maybe, just maybe, after enough people have been either killed or beaten to within an inch of their lives cv”s will the obviously very slow and extremely ignorant (and might I add, scared – as we know that the fear of the unknown is like no other fear) general public – and yes, unfortunately that includes the Jewish public as well, of New York finally get it through their thick skulls to throw out the idiot politicians and law makers who are literally holding their their constituents hostage by continuing to make it defectors impossible to own and carry a concealed handgun for personal protection.
