There were 4 teens in the group; 1 female, 3 males, all Black and around 16 years of age.
The initial group of 2 males and 1 female, made their first attempt, trying mug an older Bochur on Union St and New York Ave. He fought them off and the group fled towards Brooklyn Ave.
In the groups second attempt, there were 3 males and 1 female. They approached a 15 year old bochur on Union St between Brooklyn and Kingston Ave, and demanded money from the bochur, who complied. The group then fled toward Kingston Ave.
911 and Shomrim were called. Patrolling Shomrim members responded immediately and were told the group fled into the Subway station on Kingston Ave and Eastern Pkwy.
Shomrim locked down the Subway station with the help of the Kingston Avenue Station Staff, and after searching the whole station, it was determined they were gone. Police responded and filed a report.
If you see any suspicious person or people roaming around the community looking for trouble, don’t hesitate to Shomrim at (718) 774-3333, and will have patrolling members check it out.

"Police responded and filed a report"-Now I am relieved. After all, The Police filed a report. Alot can be achieved with the filing of a report. Don’t you know?
In fact, next time these out of school and out of work bumbs want a free dinner, they will think twice before harming another human being. That is of course, because The police filed a report-you see.
How about, Bachurim all over Crown Heights, begin arming themselves with mace, brass knuckles, and a number of other items, and a self defense course is initiated throughout the Yeshivas???
Bachurim should not only be taught how to defend themselves, but also how to inflict irreversible injuries, wounds…
You will not belive how fast the house break ins, the muggings, the car break ins, the vandalism will stop. We need to be vigilant!!!
And next time, if you are a victim of such misfortune and are able to fight off your assailant/s. DON’T STOP THERE! Run after him/her/them and inflict intense pain upon them, wound them, hurt them, injure them, and pin them until help arrives. Two objectives will be achieved: A) The assailant/s will be caught, and B) The police will "FILE A REPORT", but more importantly "ARREST" the assailant/s.
Thank you Shomrim for being on the FRONTLINES!!!
Thank you NYPD for "filing a report"
Moshiach Now!!!!!!!!!!
This is CRAAAZY!!!
AD MOSAY???????????

It’s a shame that there’s never any cops by 770 because if there would always be cops there (like a year or two ago there was always cops by 770 24-7) then these muggers would get arrested, also something tells me that these are the same people who assalted a hispanic by kingston & union & because of that webby & someone else got arrested you should look into that.

Start screaming ‘fire’ really loud. Everyone looks and windows open.
Or smile a big smile and speak in Hebrew. Use a little broken English:
"No understand, Heebrew, Ivrite." They get impatient and leave.
Close your eyes and say ‘Shema.’ They get spooked.

hi there, i was the first bochur on NY and union. i filed a report with the police for ‘attempted grand larceny.’
the cop said that because nothing was actually stolen, there is not much they can do with my statement.
still, always make a police report if something happens to you – the numbers add up.
Comunication is key
Durring the crown hights riots, the rebbe was asked if we should arm ourselves and fight back? The Rebbe answered: Hakol Kol Yaakov Vhayodayim Yedai Aisov. ie we should use our voices to complaine to the proper authorities rather than vigilanyism.
If everyone complaining would send a complaint to our elected officials websights we may get results ie more police protection or faster responce time. And yes Mr. “Brooklynite” reporting crimes do help since every elected official wants to show crime is down. I am not knocking Shomrim who we owe agreat deal of graditude. Everyone else should be using their comunication skills. Safe Labor -Day to all.

i have a good one that really works and i even heard a story about it (no details) a rabbi once was walking into his building and some low-life stopped him and held a gun to his head.the rabbi screamed "EIN OD MILVADO!" which means "theres no one except for you" (hashem) and the low-life ran away in fright.whenever you are stopped by these people think of this story and hashem and they will get scared! i guarantee you.

Dear m.savage B"H
Sorry, there’s no excuse for violence, whether they have money or not.
Stop excusing violence. These Blacks are chaiv misa according to the 7 Noahide Laws. See Rambam.
You should be expressing outrage for scaring, attacking any Yid.

Mace and brass knuckles are illegal. If you use them then you’ll end up getting arrested too. That won’t help matters.
Arrest making requires report taking. If the perp isn’t immediately apprehended, the case gets sent to the squad. The squad can’t investigate without a report being taken.
