A disturbing incident occurred in Crown Heights on Friday morning when an Orthodox Jewish woman was punched in the head by a passing stranger, according to Chabad’s public relations director Rabbi Yaacov Behrman. Surveillance footage obtained by Crown Heights Shomrim shows the man walking past the visibly Jewish woman, who was standing on a street corner, before striking her in the head and continuing on his way.
“As a result of the attack, the victim sustained bruises and sought medical attention,” Rabbi Behrman said. “This kind of behavior is unacceptable and has no place in our community.”
The incident has sparked outrage and concern among community leaders and residents, who are calling for increased vigilance and a zero-tolerance approach to hate crimes.
“We condemn this senseless act of violence and urge anyone with information to come forward,” said Rabbi Behrman. “We will not stand idly by while our community is targeted. We demand justice and safety for all.”
The incident is currently under investigation by the NYPD, and community leaders are working closely with authorities to ensure that the perpetrator is brought to justice.

Interesting that the suspect doesn’t seem to run away.
Brazen violence by a subhuman. They’ll probably catch it but they’ll release immediately back into to the wild because we as a society have to be very caring for animals and everyone knows animals are not happy in a cage. I think Hochul should adopt it as a pet .
Thank you very much Mayor Adams and the wonderful Democrat leftist party of New York. You have made your city a toilet bowl. Good luck. It’s no wonder why people are moving out as fast as they possibly can.
The problem is people keep seeing that there’s problems but yet they continue to vote stupid.
now that ramadan is approaching lets be sure every mosque has adequate NYPD oversight due to rising islamophobia across the nation. as many of us rememeber one time a few months ago a visibly jewish person said an insult to someone near a mosque
maybe the Jewish Council that Eric Adams created can discuss this matter at their next meeting? I think we need a press conference and a march to show unity.
Eddie Caban and Letitia James are keeping us all safe, by allowing cops to be punched in the face by minorities. We need to honor them more, by our mosdos.
This filthy savage needs to be permanently locked inside a birch, and have his head bashed non-stop for rest of his life
I lived there for 30 years. The police don’t care, they don’t respond and they aren’t visible. My teenage son was beaten up on numerous occasions by Black thugs – on the train, in a store, going to Yeshiva & so on. It’s a lawless place where it’s open season on Jews (the war has made it worse) and if it wasn’t for Shomrim, many more Jews would be hurt on a daily basis.
hml i dont understand I always see pictures of askanim and community leaders saying that violence is in the past and in fact eric adams represented crown heights and was a cop so he knows best, I am sure that things are pretty good and if once in a blue moon there is violence there are rallies, marches and press conferences addressing it.
This is what to jews have been going through for thousands of years. She’s lucky to still be alive.
Jews in America think they are better than 80 – 130 generations of jews in exile.
And the zionist state didn’t help either.
So what’s the answer?
The obvious answer of course is to listen to our askonim and only vote Democrat.
A few beatings every day here and there is a small price to pay for the zechus of voting for Democrats.
