PARK SLOPE, Brooklyn [CHI] — A Lubavitcher Bochur became the victim of a blatant hate crime Tuesday evening at around 6:15pm in Park Slope. The incident unfolded inside the subway station on 4th Avenue and 9th Street, which is in the confines of the 78th Precinct, where a Middle Eastern looking teen snatched the Bochur yarmulke from behind and fled out of the station.

The Bochur, who on his way into the station notice a group or four teens sitting on the steps of the subway entrance, did not hesitate and began perusing his yarmulke snatcher, all the while just a few feet behind yet not managing to catch him. The pursuit continued right passed the sitting group and out into the street, where it came to an abrupt halt.

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — A boy walking to his home on Lincoln Place, from school this afternoon, Monday at around 2:15pm was attacked by a group of four Black males on Eastern Parkway close to the Troy Avenue inetsection. The group appeared to the victim to be around his own age around 12 to 15 years old.

One of the group shoved the boy to the ground and told him to empty his pockets and hand it to him, which he did, producing just some scraps of paper and nothing of value. The group then fled, apparently because someone saw them and scared them off.
