Chabad Bochur Beaten in Paris

by Hillel Fendel

PAIRS, France [INN] — A 17-year-old Lubavitcher Hassid was walking near his home in a Jewish neighborhood in France on Friday night when he was brutally attacked by several youths with metal pipes. Passers-by alerted police, and he was brought to a hospital, where doctors are working to save his life.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who is scheduled to arrive in Israel Sunday evening for a three-day visit, condemned the attack in a Saturday night announcement. “The President promises the victim and his family his support and his determination to fight against all forms of racism and anti-Semitism,” his office stated.

ALBANY, NY [NY1] — City and state officials are looking to up the ante on drivers who sit the middle of an intersection.

It’s already illegal to “block the box” –- but currently, only police officers are allowed to hand out tickets. However, today the State Senate and Assembly passed legislation that increases enforcement by giving traffic enforcement agents the right to ticket drivers, as well. They also want to double fines.
