by CrownHeights.info

An attempted mugging marred an otherwise uneventful Shabbos in Crown Heights leaving a resident shaken but otherwise unhurt.

The scary incident took place in the area of Carroll Street and Troy Ave around 4:00pm Shabbos day when a Jewish person was approached by a black male riding a children’s scooter.

The male harassed and chased the Jewish resident through the area, going so far as to physically attack them before eventually letting them go.

Thankfully the Jewish resident was left unharmed, but shaken.
