Lubavitch Woman Kicked In Crown Heights Attack, Told “Don’t Look At Me” Before Assault
by CrownHeights.info
A Lubavitch woman walking on Sterling Street in Crown Heights was assaulted Tuesday afternoon over a perceived look.
The infuriating incident took place on Sterling Street between New York Ave and Brooklyn Ave just before 3:30pm, as both the assailant and the victim were walking towards Brooklyn.
Video footage of the attack was provided by Crown Heights Shomrim showing as the woman crosses the street, cutting slightly behind a masked man deeply engrossed in his phone.
Suddenly, the man turns around, and according to the victim demands “don’t look at me”. The victim, who is unable to speak English, briefly attempted to communicate before the man kicks her. The woman can then be seen continuing on her way and reported the incident to Shomrim later on.
The police were called and a canvas of the areas cameras gave a description of the attacker. The police are following up on the incident.
If You See Something, Say Something! Please call 911 and Shomrim immediately at 718-774-3333.
