Police are investigating a possible hate crime attack in Miami, Thursday morning.
Sources tell YWN that three Jewish men were having coffee inside the Dunkin Donuts on 41st Street and Sheridan Ave at around 5:30AM, when suddenly a man approached them. He began yelling at them, and punched one of the victims in the face. A second victim was shoved, and then punched in the chest. The third victim was able to fight the attacker off – before ripping off the mans hood.
The suspect fled the scene, but was later apprehended by police and was identified by the victims. He was arrested and taken into custody.
Hatzolah of Miami Beach was on the scene. Two victims were transported to the hospital by EMS for facial trauma. Both are in stable condition.
Additional information about the suspect and what he is being charged with will be published by YWN when that becomes available to us.

Ok. Only some of this is true. My husband was punched, his two friends tried to grab the guy. One fell and the other grabbed the guy’s hoodie. The hood ripped off and was used by the K9 unit to track the guy.
One Hatzolah member happened bu on hos way to shul and MB emergency services took one person to the hospital – hes fine. My husband was also checked out and bh is fine.
anyone who doesn’t carry, at least mace, is nuts.
I never thought there would come a day i could not walk on 41st St with a yarmulka on my head.
we all should learn from George Zimmerman.
Does dunkin donuts have a good hechsher in miami? Not accusing anyone, im just saying i would fly there tomorrow for some boston cream and glazed donuts….
Still hoping they open up a middle east branch in Israel
Mace is illegal in New York. Basically, any tool to use for self-defense is illegal in New York…
Moshe In Golus – your comment is vile and disgusting. Are you suggesting that we should kill innocent kids wearing hoodies, buying candy in a local grocery store? If Trayvon Martin was Jewish our community we be up in arms about anti-semitism. Quite disgusting how this article considers every attack on a Jew to be a hate crime but you can then make careless remarks about a child who was targeted because of his skin color.
crazykanoiy, are you being sarcastic ” nnocent kids wearing hoodies, buying candy in a local grocery store” or you realy CRAZY like your avatar name suggests? George Zimmerman defended hist LIFE with legal gun against a thug who was ruthlessly beating him into the pulp. Would you also suggest that in Ferguson, Missouri Michael Brown’s last word were “Don not shoot” with his hands up in the air? You watching to much Fake News.
