A few moments later the Bochur came back to himself and noticed that they had taken an expensive watch off his wrist and fled. Later that day the Bochur went and filed a police report, the police took him to the hospital where they determined he had suffered a minor injury to his head and will be ok.
This incident happened late at night (or early in the morning, depends how you look at it) which isn’t a smart time to be walking alone in the street. Please be sensible. If you are C”V a victim of a mugging don’t wait to report it to the police, do it immediately. And please remember to call Shomrim at (718) 774-3333 24/7.
Bochur Assaulted and Mugged
Yesterday in the early morning a Bochur was walking home from a Farbrengen and was confronted by 3 black teenagers at the intersection of President St. & Schenectady Ave. who demanded money from him. The Bochur produced his pocket contents which consisted of a single dollar coin and handed it to the teens who took it and threw it back at him. One of them then pulled out a black pistol pointing it at the Bochur demanding more money but the Bochur didn’t have any, so one of them punched him in the face knocking him out.

Where was Shomrim? Dosn’t shomrim patrol at that time(as it said in the artical it is a dangerous time)…Refoua Shelama to this Bochur.
hi
does any one by any chance know who it is bec. i live on that block and i probably know him
b-safe
A good rule is to always carry a small amount of money on you so in case of such an incident, ch"v, you have something to hand the muggers and they (hopefully) leave you alone. It’s best to have a few bills…a ten, a five and a few singles so the mugger feels he really got something. Your safety is worth $20!
me
to b-safe: the muggers wouldn’t be satisfied with a 20 even if you give them 100 they would assume you have something more………….they wouldn’t let someone off the hook for a 20…………actully maybe your right it’s better then nothing.
a typical bochur! only 1 doller and a few cents lol!
what my question is, is why would such an innocent bochur comeing back from a farbie get mugged? shouldn’t he have extra pertection at this time? well of course every thing is for the good right? gam zu letova or better yet gam zu geula!!!!!!!!!!!!!
