As YWN reported on Tuesday evening, the NYPD are searching for a suspect who shouted an anti-Semitic remark and threw a rock through the window of a moving car at Nostrand Avenue and Avenue J in Flatbush.
According to police, at around 4:53PM, in front of 2401 Nostrand Avenue, an unknown individual shouted an anti-Semitic remark and proceeded to throw a rock through the rear driver’s side window of a 2015 Chrysler van traveling Northbound on Nostrand Avenue.
The rock missed her 6-year-old child sitting in the back seat by inches. The child was child covered in shards of glass, but thankfully not injured.
The individual was last seen fleeing on foot southbound on Nostrand Avenue.
There were no reported injuries as a result of this incident, and the NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating.
The individual is described as a male, black, approximately 14-years-old, 5’6″ tall, weighing 130 lbs., with short black hair. He was last seen wearing blue jeans, a blue t-shirt and black sneakers.
Police, Hatzolah and Flatbush Shomrim were called.
Two nice EMT’s from FDNY were seen assisting the woman in temporarily sealing-up the broken window.
A photo and video of the individual is attached.

Waiting to hear how horrified Al Sharpton is.
40+ years ago on the long summer evenings, some italian youths used to drive by the Yeshiva and throw rocks at the windows.
A couple of the bochurim desired to make a ‘vigilante’ group to be prepared to confront and stop them.
R’ Shmuel Berenbaum told them emphatically: “no”
