Man Using Fake Hatzalah Placard Exposed In Crown Heights

by CrownHeights.info

An alert Crown Heights Hatzalah member confronted a man using a fake Hatzalah placard in Crown Heights Monday morning.

The man sitting in a blue Hyundai Elantra  had been parked on Albany Ave on the corner of Union Street when the Hatzalah member questioned him regarding the placard.

A witness to the incident told CrownHeights.info that the man claimed the car was a rental, and that the placard was not his before driving off.

The fake placard used was modeled after an old version of Hatzalah’s vehicle placards from the 90’s, with updated logos and a current expiration date.

The unit number on the placard claimed that the placard belongs to unit Flatbush-404, a unit number that does not exist.
