A South Florida community is urging police to secure their neighborhood after another man was attacked near a jog path.

On Wednesday evening a Frum man was out in his jogging path when he was brutally assaulted. “I don’t think for a minute that you, when I’m talking to the perpetrators and those like you, care about other people, otherwise you wouldn’t do this,” he said. “First thing they did was pummelling my head with the gun and then my face, then punching me and kicking me. Repeatedly I kept saying ‘let me go, I have nothing.’”

Neighbors in the North Miami Beach community are also concerned for their safety. “It seems like it is a big problem and it seems like this kind of stuff happens nearly every night. We feel so unsafe out there. We don’t even go to the canal or to the park anymore,” said a woman whose husband was also assaulted in that same path.

According to police a woman was attacked and gang assaulted in May . Police made several arrests related to that case. Following that incident, police handed out flyers informing residents of self-defense classes being offered.

According to officials, they are aware of the numerous attacks that have happened and are working to enforce patrolling in the area.
