11-Year-Old Orphan of Menachem Stark Robbed

The 11 year-old son of Menachem Stark, a Chasidic landlord who was murdered a few months ago, was robbed at knife-point in Williamsburg Monday evening by three teenaged hoodlums who threatened to kill him before making off with his bicycle.

The NY Post reports that the three teens accosted Abraham Stark near Lorimer and Union Streets at around 7 p.m. Monday.

According to sources, the teens demanded Abraham’s bike while one pulled a knife and another shouted, “Kill him!”

Nearby pedestrians who witnessed the mugging began screaming for help as the trio took the bike and made their getaway.

Police said Abraham was uninjured and that his bike was located on a nearby street a short time later.

Police are still looking for the three teens.

Sources tell VIN News it’s the 3rd similar incident in the same area.

Williamsburg Shomrim Patrol were assisting NYPD of the 90th Pct. with searching surveillance cameras in the area.

    and Teffillin of the son over Bar Mitzvah.

    Anyone who’s lost a mother or a father can be called an orphan.. And seriously, that’s what you have to say??.. Poor kid.. Had enough trauma in his life.. May they be comforted and see only revealed goodness

      What’s not nice about his comment? All he did was correct the story. The boy is a yosom, but he is not an orphan. That is a simple fact.
