Two Girls Assaulted in a Building on Montgomery St

The entrance to 742 Montgomery St.

742 Montgomery St, a building that brings back horrible memories for a woman in her 50’s and to a newly married couple who lived there. This evening two more girls can (Loi Aloinu) say the same.

At around 6:00pm two Jewish girls were attacked on the third floor of 742 Montgomery St by two Black males. The girls were approached from behind and were both grabbed by the perpetrators. Both immediately began screaming which apparently scared the perps off, by the time residents opened their doors all they saw was the perps backs fleeing down the stairs.
