The driver was a woman who was driving with a learners permit along with her son who had a regular driver’s license, the driver stated that when making a left turn from Brooklyn onto Montgomery she lost control of the car and went careening off the two parked cars. The driver did not flee, she called police and waited for them to fill out a police report.

Last week, Monday night at around 12:00am a Jewish resident of the community was driving on his way home, when he stopped for the traffic light at the intersection of Montgomery and Albany a black male pulled up alongside him and an angry exchange began.

At one point the Black driver got out of his vehicle and attempted to assault the Jewish driver while cursing at him “you ****ing Jew”, the man in his mid 30’s fended off his attacker and sped away. One block later at the intersection of Montgomery and Troy the Jewish driver spotted a police officer and stopped him and told him what had just happened.
