The blood stained Van and Sidewalk, notice the extent of the spatter.
At 8:40pm Tuesday evening, an 18 to 21 year old black male attacked a 14-year-old bochur. Eyewitness stated that the assailant grabbed the Bochur by the head and slammed him into the back of a parked mini-van with vicious force, knocking him out instantly.
The sheer force of the impact on the van, left a large splatter of blood on the back of the vehicle (see Pictures). The attacker then proceeded to take his Wallet, Cell Phone and iPod, after which he continued beating the unconscious bocher with blows to the head.
At which point a Jewish member of the community walked up to try to stop the beating and began calling the police. After noticing the approaching individual, the mugger stopped and said to him “You better put the phone down, or else you will be next”.
The Shomrim who arrived on scene immediately, began canvassing the area in attempt to apprehend this brutal criminal. Hatzalah was kept waiting at the scene before transporting the bochur to the hospital, because the police took more then 15 minutes to respond.
The bochur was taken to King County Hospital, where it was determined that he suffered a concussion, multiple cuts and abrasions to his face and severe trauma to his head.
This incident comes just a month after the murder of Efraim Klein, who was shot on the very same corner where this mugging took place (the police still seem to be completely clueless as to who murdered Efraim Klein). Blood was visible all over the sidewalk (see pictures) and the Bochur had no recollection of the actual assault.
