According to a report by COL, an arrest has been made in connection with the stabbing of a 25-year-old Jewish man in Crown Heights two weeks ago.
The arrest was reportedly made on Wednesday, February 10th in connection to what investigators treated as a hate crime.
The attack on Leiby Brikman happened a few feet away from his apartment in the neighborhood when he felt a sharp pain in his back.
Meanwhile, CHI is reporting that the man was “brought in for questioning”.
The NYPD declined comment to YWN about either report.
A lengthy investigation is continuing with the 71st Precinct, detectives from the NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force and the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office.
Just three months ago, a Hatzolah member was stabbed in an unprovoked attack on Eastern Parkway. The attacker was never apprehended.

he’ll be out in no time, as the court will say he was “oppressed” or “had a difficult childhood”.
He was not arrested on Feb. 10th. He was arrested yesterday, Feb. 24th. ty
