The NYPD is searching for two teenagers who attacked at least two frum Jews in Williamsburg this past Motzei Shabbos.
In one incident, the teens chased a Jewish man in the area of Lee Ave. between Taylor Street and Roebling Ave. During the chase, the victim’s shtreimel fell to the ground and was promptly stolen by one of the suspects.
In the second incident, which occured on Roebling Street between Division and Lee Avenues, a suspect ran up behind a 66-year-old Jewish man on his way to shul early Sunday morning and sprayed him twice with a chemical fire extinguisher, before punching him in the face, causing minor injuries.
The NYPD is now investigating the incidents as hate crimes.

The headline is wrong, the article was really about “Monkeys escaped from a zoo”. Where does YWN get their sources from? At least try being accurate.
Why is a grown young man running from a 7 year old and his friend? Also what happened to chaptzem?
Vote for DeBlasio ,Hochel ,Christine Quinn ,Adams & all the rest !!!
Yes keep voting DemocRATs.
Wait till everyone comes back from the country. They will see how nice the subways are. And how safe of course. Either every politician must be outvoted or start a chapts Eim campaign like the old days.
These videos remind me of Germany and Poland during 1938.
Our cats, a Russian Blue and Tabby have more to give to this world and are way more intelligent than the hoodlums who roam the streets of NYC with nothing to do.
Whatever happened to chaptzem culture??
Why are there no more chaptzem’s?
Why is the guy in the first video runningb away?
Every Jew a .22? Anyone?
they are all little black children….how interesting……then they vote for a muslim…..I hope they stay there and those that come are the ones supposed to…I am not tampering with Hashem’s world,
If Obama had a son he’d look like?
These days if you would have a chaptzem the results would be mass arrests in the frum community and widespread condemnation for it in the social and print media and from all the politicians we were told to support. The rules of bail reform and all other pro criminal laws would all be out the window. Those who came to the defense of the victim would face serious jail time .Way beyond what the punishment for someone who just attacked a frum person for no reason
How does that community vote? Which candidates?
Smerel, unfortunately you have a good point
