At around 12:30am Friday night two Bochurim walking on Eastern Pkwy. and Rochester Ave. were assaulted. The incident began as the two were walking when they heard someone behind them yell “You ******* Jew”, when they turned around one of the Bochurim was struck in the face with a baseball bat, after which a group of about 7 to 8 Black Males closed in prepared to possibly lynch the Bochur when they both managed to fend off their assailants.

When the two got away and called for help other Yidden in the area called Hatzalah who responded immediately and began treating the victim, who one of the members described his injuries to his face as extremely severe. The victim was then transported to Kings County Hospital where police were called and officers from the 71st precinct responded to take the report were more then happy to hear it that the incident took place at the park entrance thereby making it a case for the 77th precinct, and so its one bias crime less for the 71st.

The victim stated that there was a group of about 7 or 8 Black males 3 or 4 of which were on bikes and one of them was dressed in a gray suit and pants.
