Gang of Teens Assault a Bochur Next to 770!

At around 3:00pm on Friday afternoon a group of around 10 Black teens walking up Kingston towards Eastern Parkway, loud and shouting racially motivated slurs at random to passing Jews ganged up on one Bochur and beat him in broad daylight. After the senseless assault the group fled into the Kingston Avenue subway station.

More in the Extended Article.

Many witnesses who had seen what had taken place, held the train in the station for over 15 minutes, a few passenger who got fed up took one of the youth and kicked him off the subway car while saying “We lost control of our youth”, another youth that was involved in the beating left the train along with his friend.

One of the youth then attempted to flee only to be stopped by a Shomrim member, others held his friend. When police finally arrived on scene they began questioning the victim and did not want to arrest the perp stating that the Bochur couldn’t properly identify him, this came after the Bochur pointed at him and said “He was part of the group that assaulted me!”. Other officers began inciting the crowd by forcing them to ‘go away’ and when two older Rabbis came forward as witnesses officers just dismissed them.

The crowd began to uproar over the fact that the Police did not want to arrest the perp, things like ‘Is this how you keep crime down?’ and ‘Why are you victimizing the victim again?’ and ‘Preferential treatment?’ were heard coming from the crowd. Police took the Bochur and the two ‘suspects’ back to the precinct for further questioning.

CrownHeights.info had learned that Police decided to charge the perp that the Bochur had originally identified with assault and were still not sure what to charge the second one with. The Bochur had sustained a concussion and had lost his glasses in the assault, he did not request any medical treatment.

    The Anti-Semites of the 71 pct, are a disgrace to the city of New York!
    Last year when a non Jewish woman pointed a Jew and said he broke her window, he was arrested instantly despite the fact that there were numerous witnesses saying that he didn’t do it.

  • angry crown heighters

    Where is the the NYPD, it seems according to my knowledge they are only around when they ticket us! those behamas!

  • Cee

    where do we live that this could happen? Is this some jungle in Africa????

  • DISGUSTED

    I STILL don’t get it!!!

    WHY ARE YOU ALL SO SURPRISED???

    Have any of you people seen or heard Moshe Rubashkin on ANY issue?

    He just wants people patting him on the back for being a good guy and sponsoring a Purim party.

    But when it comes to doing anything REAL, not involving him spending his & OPMs (that’s Other People’s Money!) he hides under the bed.

    He makes me sick, as well as very, VERY angry! G-d forbid it’s HIS kid who gets beaten up. Then I guarantee it’ll be a whole different situation.

    Refuah Shleima to the Bochur…press charges, get a CH Jewish lawyer to help you, and sue the %$@*&#** for damages.

    Time for another useless rally???

    PS..I guess this ISN’T a Purim Shpiel.

    Next time I see that Shvartze I will hurt him myself! The NYPD is just waisting our money we need to be VIGILANT Those aminals will learn not to mess. Hey the williamsberg bridge is not far away!

  • 770

    This would of not happened if there would of been Cops in front of 770, Rubashkin wake up.

  • Happy Purim

    If witnesses and others of the community do not go to the precinct and make the oficers involved acountable for this incident, then they will have no one to blame but themselves, and other such incidents doubtless will follow.
    Send the message that this is not acceptable behavior from minors; this is even more unacceptable from the officers on scene.

  • Fed up with Crown Heights Finest

    It is sad to look at the biggest police department in the world and they act like nazi. We need to pettion the maron mayor to do something about

  • Doesn-t feel safe on Kingston

    This is nuts! How could something like this happen at <b>3PM</b> in front of 770?!? No one stopped them?? There were 10 Black kids, how many Yidden stood by saying “Oh my goodness!” and doing nothing.

  • The 71st Pct drops the ball again!

    I was there… it took them forever to come… and when they did it seemed all they were interested in doing was keep their statistics down…

  • Willy

    Look at those ‘police’
    It’s a bunch of schoirim, not police.Of course they are not going to be on your side.

  • a fed-up CHer

    Is there a way for the Shomrim/community file a complaint about how this was handled- or not handeled?

  • terrible

    it looks like they weren’t even handcuffed in the beginning! they should be treated like the criminals that they are. to jail with all of them – for good. this is a hate crime!

  • name witheld

    While it is true that the 71st precinct must clean up their act, it would help if more ppl showed up to complain when they have their community meetings. Complain to the right people instead of just kvetching on a message board that noone of significat authourity will see.

    I’ve been first hand wittness to seeing how speaking up — to the right people actually effected a change for the better.

    Wake Up Yidden! Remember the Pogrom of 1991 when the cops just stood around and the Colored people were attacking Jews.

    Unless we speak up at the Police Precinct meetings and make ourselves a powerful political voice in UNITY, this place will be like Germany 1938 (it is already) R”L.

    No other place in the United States are non-Jews allowed to harras Jews and get away with it! Even the attack in Germany on the Chabad Kindergarten brought the Prime Minister out, who promised to find the perpretrators and being them to justice. That doesn’t happen here!

    I think this is due to the lack of ACHDUS among ourselves, and especailly our “LEADERS” who are supposed to be examples to look up to, not sending out letters calling the others crooks, etc.
    RABBONIM, WAKE UP AND MAKE PEACE WITH YOURSELVES!!!! IT’S IN YOUR HANDS!!

  • ann

    Kol Hakovod to the man responsibile for holding up the perps. (yes, it was one man, and only later followed by many others….)

  • C H R

    there is a meeting every so often with the police and the community. why is there very few who attend? if we will show we are united then they will do something like in every other Jewish communty. thay are scared of the goyim as they get up and scream where we are not we let it all go bye. we are worried about witch ROV gets an ALIAH on YUM TOV or who gives RASKIN fish A hashgaceh OR OTHER STUPIDITY so just worry about how many times we shall say YACHEI and i guess everything will be fine

  • MHarowitz

    I cant believe you people would expect a shvartza cop to side w/ a yid! Could you imagine if (Chos Vesholom) a Yid attacked a shvartza for no reason?…it wouldnt be a pretty sight!

  • mukie

    are the police mental or what they have to arretst them thier never going to learn thier lesson

  • Here From Tel Aviv

    The way i see it from here (TEL-AVIV)
    it ain’t Gonna Stop until one of these attackers (doesn’t matter his color) is will be hurt badly… we need to teach them a lesson you don’t mess with us!

  • JJ

    The Police Are Suppose To Making This City A Safer Place, Not Being Mister Nice Guy.

  • crownn heighter

    do you actually expect a shvartze police to side with a JEW?????????
    Unless we do something- and not a useless rally- nothing is going to change (Chas Vesholom) so wake up, get up, and GET MOVUNG!!!!!!
    you all know where the police station is…
