Orthodox Man Attacked And Beaten In Manhattan Hate Crime
A 28-year-old man spewed anti-Semitic hate as he allegedly attacked an Orthodox Jewish man on the Upper East Side, cops said Tuesday.
Police say Steven Jorge punched the 65-year-old on E. 41st Street, near 3rd Avenue, around 11 a.m. Monday and continued to attack the man while on the ground while yelling derogatory language.
Jorge allegedly yelled “F…. you Jew bastard” before assaulting the man, who was wearing a black yarmulke, according to Dov Hikind, former state assemblyman and founder of Americans Against Antisemitism.
The 28-year-old was picked up by cops later and charged with assault as a hate crime.
