Beggar Arrested for Pulling Knife on Bochur
A beggar who spends most of his time collecting in and around 770 was arrested this morning after he threatened an Israeli bochur with a knife.
Witnesses say that the two were engaged in a verbal altercation when the beggar pulled out a knife and put it to the bochur’s chest, saying “put your hands up.”
He was taken down to the 71st precinct for booking.
Note: this article has been updated after incorrectly asserting that the beggar is of Ukrainian origin.
Get rid of him
I once refused to give him money, so he walked past me fast and made his back-pack slam into my back

LOW LIFE SCUMBAG. I’ve seen this Hungarian creep not only asking for tzedaka tzedaka!! But if you give him 50 cents, he shoves it back in your face and calls you a cheap man. I don’t think he’s a Yid.
At Last
This guy should have been thrown out years ago….he is violent and outright scary….
Money please.
That guy is a first class crackpot.

Can you please post a full picture of this beggars face so we can all be careful to stay away from him
Not surprised
Yes, that guy has been getting very aggressive recently.
most of them are not jewish or in need!
if you give them money they will continue to come!! STOP GIVING THEM A REASON TO SHOW UP AND STAY!
Mosh
This guy is very aggressive and should not be allowed into 770.
Please help this men move on
This guy needs more help then we can offer him in 770 please help him to the right environment.
No money
Dont give him any money…if everyone says NO to him, he will be forced to leave and get out of our community.

Gave him a quarter once in 770 and he wasn’t happy, so since then I give him a big fat ZERO,so he stands next to me threateningly, I just turn my back on him. I think he gets the message.
To #2 He is probably Jewish
I am not saying wether to give hom
Money or not, but he does appear to be Jewish. He speaks a fluent Hebrew.
great
now those of us who are taxpayers will be bank rolling him in jail.
He-s a CRIMINAL AND A CON-MAN!
BS“D
Years ago, he used to say that he had cancer and he had lost his hair from Chemo-Therapy and he was dying in a short-time. I used to feel-bad for him and give him money.
Then, I came-back to Crown-Heights and saw that he’s still alive!!!
I was shocked!
So, I said to him: ”Oh! Baruch-Hashem! You’re alive! So, you’re re-mition!“
He says: ”I don’t know what you’re talking about!“
He kept asking for money and calling everyone he wanted to give him money: ”Taddik, would you help me?”
Once I saw him in 770 and asked me for money.
I told him I don’t give him any-more, because, he lied to me about having severe cancer.
He put his hand on my throat and said that he would kill me.
They called Sh’mirah / Shomrim, INSTEAD of Police!
Later, we dound-out that he’s a GOY and he’s learnt how to speak Hebrew!
He’s a con-man!!!
He BELONGS in Jail!!!
Get Rid of the Goy
He is a goy and it is no mitzvah to give him anything. He has done things like this many times in the past and we should have gotten rid of him a long time ago.

Yup, for sure No. 11… I told him “EIN LEE KESEF”… he understood my words… and followed me all around 770… I was that close to calling the cop stationed outside at Kingston Eastern.

This guy always made me nervous when he would harrass me for money in 770. I wondered if he’s such a strong guy carrying that heavy backpack, why can’t he just get a job? I avoided him as much as I could (along with the other men in 770 who don’t look like they are firing on all cylinders) and I give money to the pushkas that I feel are worth charities.
Crown Heights Resident
He is again on Kingston Avenue today.
Frustrated Bochur Enough
He’s back, don’t give him any money, we should somehow stop this whole nuisance, they come harass and disturb our Shul, we should start saying no…. we all have to be in it together.
Good Shabbos
Not Millhouse
He looks like a cold-blooded Ukrainian Nazi or a Croation Ustashi.
It is likely he is psychotic, because he shows no emotion. Not even a blink.
Ahavas Israel
We have to love a rasha gamur like we do a tzaddik gamur.
HE IS BACK ON THE STEETS OF CH
Just saw him on kingston. He is back on the steets of CH.
ss this guy thretand me!
this guy thretend me when he has a chance he will beat me up!

TZEDAKA?
THERE ARE ENOUGH PUSHKAS AND LEGITIMATE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE CAN GIVE TZEDAKA TO. AND THEN IT’S REAL TZEDAKA. I NEVER GIVE ANY OF THESE PEOPLE AS I DON’T KNOW IF ANY OF THENM ARE EVEN JEWISH, AND I’D RATHER SEE MY MONEY GOING TO A JEWISH PERSON OR CAUSE. IF EVERYONE WOULD STOP GIVING THEM ANYTHING THEY WOULD GO ELSEWHERE AND LEAVE US ALONE. WALK INTO ANY STORE ON KINGSTON AVE AND YOU WILL BE GREETED BY AT LEAST A HALF A DOZEN PUSHKAS. SAME IS TRUE OF 770 AS WELL.
The Bad Lady
Whats with the bad lady, as my kids call her, who screams at passerby’s and harasses them with curses and unheard of remarks?
How come we let her stick around while she demeans mothers with children and all who don’t give her a lot of money.
My kids are frightened of walking down the same side of the street as her.
Yirmi
I don’t give any begger anything. There all whack jobs and usually drug attacks. The ONE guy i give money to is the smiley Russian guy with the cain who speaks yiddish. He’s a yid and seems fine.

I totally agree with you! I gave her money once and she threw it back at be screamed that it wasn’t enough! She said that I should give more because she works so hard sitting there all day and everything hurts her… Now when I see her, I cross the street–It’s better then being harassed each time I pass.
I was affraide to call the police on him
He once pull a gun to me bcs I told him he don’t deserve my money
Please do a Mitzva and report him with any violent action
His a goy and we all know it , even if he would g a Jew , as a dangriuse person he should be in jail.
Maybe someone should organize a group of complaint against him and have him lock up for good
Milhouse
#21, first establish that he is Yisrael. If he isn’t one then there is no mitzvah at all, even if he were a tzadik, let alone now that we know he’s a rasha.
shomo as always in bad englih

To 25
We call her the Sheinkeit Lady (not that she is.) I’m creeped out by her but I refuse to give her anything. She’s a lot more polite in Boro Park but the abuse she hurls over here is disgusting. $1 isn’t enough for this old witch. She needs to be off our streets. Bring back the Goggle Lady (remember her???)
Shraga
Buy the guy a black suit and hat and send him to EY where he can sit in a kollel all day and be supported. (I don’t think the IDF would be interested in him anyway.)
Yossel
PLEASE DON’T GIVE MONEY TO THAT GUY! HE IS JUST A TROUBLEMAKER!! If we ignore him, eventually he’ll move to some other neighborhood where no one knows him, but by giving him money YOU ARE NOT HELPING HIM.
Regarding the lady on Kingston, she is not normal. She needs help and since she doesn’t appear to be getting any, giving her attention or money is NOT helping her either.
Once of the consequences of living in New York is that it is a crazy place with no shortages of mishuggina menchen…
samsung
This guy does speak really good Hebrew,so i guess it takes all types…
Eli
By the way this is the same guy one of the websites claimed he got beaten by bochurim. now you know why.

Chaim
