Crown Heights Shomrim has released footage of a blood-boiling road rage incident that ended with a Jewish man punched in the face.

As previously reported on CrownHeights.info, the incident took place 10:20pm Sunday night near the intersection of Union Street and Albany Ave when a Jewish man arriving in Crown Heights for Simchas Bais Hashoeva was looking for parking. A non-Jewish driver was enraged at the slow pace of traffic and exited his vehicle to confront the Jewish driver.

Words were exchanged and the Jew was punched in the face and had his phone thrown from his hands.

Witnessing the assault, other Jewish passersby attempted to intervene and keep the assailant on scene. The assailant got into his vehicle and nearly rode over one of the Lubavitchers attempting to help as he fled the scene in his car.

Shomrim arrived to assist the victim and Hatzalah was called to provide medical care in the incident.
