Three teens with a sword, crowbar, and knife threated Jewish kids near West End Avenue and West 86th Street on the Upper West Side this past Shabbos, and the NYPD is now hunting for the suspects.
The teens told a group of six Jewish kids ranging in age from 12 to 16 that they “wanted to get them” because they were Jewish, according to police. They then followed the boys home before fleeing.
“It is sickening that kids around his own age are walking around this neighborhood with knives and crowbars targeting Jews, taunting them to fight. And on Shabbat no less,” a woman who identified herself as the mother of one of the victims wrote on Facebook.
Council Member Gale Brewer said the suspects were identified as middle- and high-schoolers and that the NYPD Hate Crime Task Force had been informed of the incident.
“My office was informed of a horrible anti-semitic attack” Brewer wrote on Facebook. “Anti-semitism is abhorrent and an attack on us all.”
On April 2nd at 7:25 pm, near West 86 Street and West End Avenue in Manhattan, three unidentified males approached the Jewish victims, made anti-Jewish statements, and menaced the victims with a sword. If you have info, contact @NYPDTips at 800-577-TIPS. pic.twitter.com/1IILP8wxIE

Kathy Hochul should be happy. At least one of the thugs was wearing his mask properly, saving, perhaps, countless lives.
How is our first democrat African American female attorney general, Letitia James, doing? Any update on those dangerous Trump personal tax returns?
Real swords ? Lock them up os send them to Putin
These ‘mommie boys’ shouldn’t be hard to find.
Please everyone We need Democrats so they could give companies like masbia more business because people can’t afford to buy food for Pesach with these every day low prices, and lets not forget all these jobs that Biden is creating so more people don’t have food stamps, and can’t even afford to pay for food, after the government charges income tax, gas tax, tolles, parking tickets if you don’t have a half hour to look for parking 5 blocks away from your house.
Don’t forget to go the grocery in the morning for your chickens or they will be out of stock.
BUT
PLEASE DO NOT STOP VOTING DEMOCRAT
WE MUST HAVE THEIR FUNDING THAT MASBIA SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONTINUE THEIR GOOD WORK…
