Two Jewish Woman Attacked Friday Evening, Police Refuse Assistance
CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — Two Jewish women were assaulted Friday night by Black strangers. The two incidents occurred around the same time, on different ends of the neighborhood. One of the victims flagged down a police car that refused to help and did not call for another unit to assist her, instead telling the witnesses to “get over it.”
One incident took place on Carroll Street between Brooklyn and Kingston Avenues around 9:00pm, as people were returning home from Shul. A Black male, described to be in his late teens or early twenties, walked passed a Jewish married woman and slapped her. He then fled toward Kingston Avenue. The perpetrator was described as wearing a dark-colored, sleeveless T-shirt and dark jeans.
