An Orthodox Jewish man was the victim of a brutal attack in Crown Heights on Wednesday afternoon on Schenectady Avenue and Montgomery Street.
The victim, Yossy Hershkop, who is a well known community activist, was transported by Hatzolah to the hospital following the attack in broad daylight. Thankfully, he is in stable condition.
The sickening incident occurred in front of the victim’s 5-year-old son, with the heartless attackers taking no heed of the child’s presence.
Crown Heights Shomirm and the NYPD are investigating.
Additional details about this disturbing story will be published shortly.
I am stunned & outraged. Yossy is truly one of the good guys. A bridge builder to the Black community & a respected activist who does wonderful communal work. We are sick & tired of seeing this type of violence repeated over & over on Jewish victims. Condemnations aren't enough. https://t.co/0FbzgMEPfQ

This seems to be planned. Notice the white car parked in front of him to block him (I guess they jumped out of there?). Can we see the rest of the footage? Is the guy who joins in middle a partner in crime, or does he break it up? And what’s with that car that drives by slowly in middle? Very strange.
Yossi runs the Urgent Care in Crown Heights. Did they run into a malpractice incident? There is definitely more to the story…
Oh please. The UNELECTED privileged white female Kathy Hochul has been enthusiastically endorsed by Getz and the boys. We’re good. We’re safe. We have the dream team protecting us. The black Letitia James, Andrea Stewart-Cousins, Carl Heastie, Eric Adams, Eric Gonzalez, & the white Kathy Hochul. Stop with the exaggeration.
Another day, another group of thugs thugging. National media keeps ignoring. This will never change.
Shame on Adams, a Nothing-Mayor with zero qualifications.
they should put these “thugs” in chains
