Crown Heights: Jewish Boy Shoved Off Scooter in Unprovoked Assault

by CrownHeights.info

A Jewish boy wearing a local Jewish camp shirt was targeted in Crown Heights Wednesday and shoved off his scooter in an unprovoked assault.

The boy had exited his school bus just moments before on the corner of Kingston Ave and East New York when he came across a friend and began riding back and forth on a kick scooter in front of a Jewish building.

As the boys were innocently riding, a group of three youth approached from Albany Ave and one of them, a female, suddenly shoved the boy off the scooter.

The stunned boy, who was thankfully uninjured, stared in shock as the girl walked off laughing with her friends.

The boy returned home and told his parents, who in turn called 911 and reported the incident.

At present, the incident is being investigated as a possible hate crime.
