Man Assaulted with Metal Pipe, Rock Thrown Into Sukkah
CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — A relatively calm and peaceful Sukkos and Simchas Torah was marred by two serious acts of violence against the Jewish community. A Jewish man on his way home on Friday night was assaulted by a young black male, who was riding on a bike and swung a metal pipe at his head.
The incident took place on Crown Street between Kingston and Albany Avenues at around 1:30 AM, Hatzalah received the call for an assault and upon arriving on scene they began treating the victim, who was described to be in his late 30’s, for serious trauma to the back of his head.
He was apparently assaulted by the young perpetrator with a metal pipe, described a number of eye witnesses, the victim himself could not recount the attack since he lost consciousness immediately after the assault.
Hatzalah transported the victim to Kings County Hospital for further treatment and checkups, including a CT scan of his head in order to check for fractures and other serious underlying injuries. He was released later the next day.
In another incident which took place on the first days of Yom Tov, a very large stone was lobbed into a Sukkah on Crown Street, while the family was inside and conducting their Yom Tov meal. The father ran out of the Sukkah and yelled Chaptzem, the result of which was the capture of two black males both 14 to 15 years of age.
Police was flagged down and were told about the incident and decided against arresting the two perps, both of whom admitted to throwing the stone yet called the incident a mistake. Instead they received a ride home and a warning. The stone landed within an uncomfortable few feet of an infant that was in the Sukkah.

Would somebody please use this as the perfect example of how the NYPD screws up arrests and incidents. Chanina, tell the Mayor when you have breakfast with him. Moshe tell the legislators who you are close to. Rally at the 71 and don’t let this happen again. Set an example! Gevalt, am I mad!
Thats MY block!!
NO ARRESTS!!! Well, it wasn’t in Rubashkin’s Sukkah, was it??
Why didn’t the family insist on pressing charges? Why didn’t THIS get Bloomberg involved? Isn’t this a hate crime?, Oh no, it’s a mistake.

This is why we cant just simply place an article thanking the police for protecting us.
THEY DONT
Mistakes
I think if someone dropped a few stones on them by mistake then they won’t be dropping any more stones by mistake.
Shame one the NYPD
C.H.
"decided against arresting "
no way! crazy
jewish chabad
these police are plain anti semites not caring what happens to the jews!
what should have been done was give those black animals a beating they would’nt forget. teach all of them a lesson. just like you train animals.
co
see how the police are afraid of the juvenile delinquents here in CH.
So they let those jd’s go and then someone else who probably got away with such a thing a few years ago, graduated to being a pipe beater. If they didnt want to incarcerate the jd’s then they should have at least scared them and made them sit all night in the police station or SOMETHING because they have no fear from their child-rearing.
CROWNHEIIGHTSER & LOVING IT
PEOPLE IN CROWN HEIGHTS HAVE TO CALL THE MEDIA SUCH AS T V STATIONS THAT WILL PUBLICIZE THESE THINGS AND THEN THE POLICE WILL ACT DIFFERENTLY. BECAUSE THEY DON’T WANT THIS KIND OF PUBLICITY. THE POLICE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD (AS POLICE IN ALL OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS) KNOW FOR A FACT THAT 14 15 YEAR OLD BLACKS WALK AROUND WITH KNIVES AND GUNS SO THEY’RE NOT JUST INNOCENT LITTLE 14 15 YEAR OLD KIDS WE ARE DEALING WITH, AND FOR THIS TO BE THEIR REACTION IS ATROCIOUS AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SLIP BY WITHOUT PUBLICITY AND A COMMOTION. THE GOOD OLD MAYER BLUMBERG SHOULD ALSO BE MADE AWARE OF THIS AS THE POLICE COMMISIONER AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE MEDIA IS INFORMED. I WILL BE THE FIRST TO CALL SOME NEWS STATIONS AND GET THIS ON THE AIR.

Can we start taking down badge numbers and names and lobby the police commissioner and mayor’s office to open a formal internal investigation into police not reporting crimes properly or not treating them with the utmost seriousness (isn’t that what we pay them for?!)
Webby how about publicizing the names and picture of officers who don’t do their jobs when it comes to crime in our community?
We’ have a long history of shabby police conduct in the 71 it’s about time we start doing something about it!
yid
next time, we shouldnt find a cop. instead, someone, NOT the family that lives there, should give the kids a beating! i personally would do it.

There goes the anti-semitic NYPD again…
Not that the NYPD is anti-semitic, it’s just a few of the cops in charge of crown heights…

One night at 2 am two hispanics were sitting on a stoop with a ‘boom box’ between them blasting loud ‘music.’
Many calls were received by 311 which were forwarded to our local pct. (71).
A patrol car arrived in about 20 min. One officer approached the 2 men and the ‘music’ ceased. The police drove away.
Shortly the ‘music’ began again. Many calls to the 71st. Police car arrives. One cop walks over to the 2 men. Both stand up and walk towards Eastern Pkwy.
1. They disobeyed the law and the officer.
2. The second time they were probably threatened with arrest and/or confiscation of the radio-cd player.
Why weren’t they arrested or the radio/cd confiscated?
Obviously the criminals don’t fear the law or the police. Do they deserve to be feared or respected?
Weak laws=lack of respect and fear.
(No 7 Noahide Laws)
Perhaps, since the USA is busy helping Israel to give away G-d’s land to non-Jews (this is a Cristian country) their gift is a lack of morals and backbone.
Witness the Senator Larry Craig fiasco where at least 2 famous people, friends and party-members of the senator, abandoned him and ran in fear.

Do something. Don’t just blog on this site. Come to the 71st Police Community Meeting on Thur Oct 18, 2007 and tell it to the face of CO Frank Vega.He is there every time joking and pretending that "all is well in the 71st". Almost no one from unzere raises tough questions and so it goes…

Thanks, BigBen. I plan on taking a stroll down to the 71st & believe me, I have no problem opening my mouth!
Who will join me?

JDwith2otherdegrees
I understand your frustrations with the crime in the neighborhood. But it is really necessary to describe someone as
"one of those really BLACK faced ones". It is a disgusting manner in which to speak about a race of people whom you live amongst, many of whom are professional tax payers. Furthermore, where are the posts when a Black person gets mugged or attacked? Or, is this site only for responding to a "certain type of attack"?
