CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — Last night, Wednesday at around 7:00 PM, Shomrim received a call from two scared children, home alone, saying there was someone prank calling them and they think he was outside their house.
A few Shomrim members were dispatched to the house, made sure the children, both in their early teens, were okay and secured the house. The Shomrim members waited for the parents to come home, who told them that they knew who the caller was.
The prank caller is a known trouble maker in the neighborhood and someone that most Shomrim members know by face already.
The parents were advised to file a police report for harassment and threats to life.
Later that night at group of patrolling Shomrim members spotted him on Kingston Avenue. One of the Shomrim members approached him and confronted him in regards to the earlier incident with the family. He immediately got violent and pulled a knife at the member.
The Shomrim members called for backup and held him on Kingston Ave and President St until police arrived.
Upon arriving the Police arrested him for possession of a deadly weapon and for attempting to assault the Shomrim member with the knife.
In the past, Shomrim has reasoned with him and got him into a rehab center, together with the help of other community organizations.

nebach neglected by the system
this “kid” is a former “yeshiva bochur” from crown heights who was neglected out of the system and now spends half a year “vacationing” in rikers island on the average year….his uncle is a shliach in the midwest, is all i can say and he needs a foster home for someone to give him positive attention. until that happens he will be one of the revolving door carreer criminals who just go to rikers every 30 days.and then come back to ch for more trouble causing. his parents are in a bitter divorce and have zero time or patience to deal with him so thats out of the question. amongst others in this community have had limited success with him in the past but oviously cannot devote their lives full time to him.not to mention they have exauhasted their mental and fianacial capabilities at this point and time. so please help out this neshomo if anybody knows where this tomim can find help….

Why would that matter if he is lubavitch, satmar, or litfish? are you judging one person for the rest of us…or is it just a question…?
next…person thats sticking up for the unclear pictures….THEY ARE UNCLEAR OBVIOUS FOR THAT REASON!
Go shomrim
Go shomrim you guys rock!
Scared Children
Shomrim , You protected my siblings while me and my parents were away.
The only thought that comforted them was that you guys were standing by the door till my parents came home.YOu are the best.
Ps- I heard about this nut case before .He made some trouble in Boro Park to . He isnt originally form here.
Cool your jets
He is NOT a Lubavitcher kid, he is NOT local. Whilst it IS sad that a neshama ends up this way, don’t start a whole diatribe about how Crown Heights produced such a kid.
KayP
thank you cool your jets!
Att Crownheights.info
ATT Crownheights.info: the information you had stated above is not true. This guy is not a frum lubavitch guy, he wasn’t brought up in crown heights to a lubavitch family. He is actually from Long Island and becoming frum thru some shluchim. (and he is not a teen) So, please make some corrections because it seems, like a chilul lubavitch. Thanks..

I am a frum person from Chicago who had rachmanus on this “tomim” & took him into my home with my wife & 3 boys to try & provide him with a stable frum home life. This “Man” (he is 26 yrs old)is an extremely unsatble & violent person who I had to throw out of my wife after he physically assaulted me & did terrible things in front of my children. He is a sexual mis-creant & deviant, & people should be vary wary of him. In Chicago 7 different people tried to help him he even had an opportunity to stay at the ARK residence where he was thrown out of as well. He needs to be in a psych ward if you really want to help him. He has been using crack for 10 years & is only “clean” for 7 months. He smoked pot while at my house & I myself had to call the Cops. Be very careful, he is a master manipulator who steals & begs for money, he likes small girls & married woman are his favorite. If you wish to know his name please e-mail me at samb@zevro.com.
nebach neglected by the system
i never said he is from crown heights but rather he was in yeshiva here and was thrown out and ended up the way he is…….his parents are not lubavitch but his uncles and aunts are and are also shluchim in chicago so they know full well where this guy comes from and more importantly where he belongs……
