Three suspects were arrested Thursday evening by officers from the NYPD’s 90th Precinct with the assistance of Williamsburg Shomrim volunteers, following a series of BB gun attacks targeting Orthodox Jewish individuals in Williamsburg.
On Wednesday night, Williamsburg Shomrim received multiple reports of a vehicle driving through the neighborhood and firing BB pellets at pedestrians on several streets. Six victims were reported in the initial spree. Utilizing high-definition surveillance cameras positioned throughout the community, Shomrim was able to identify the vehicle’s license plate.
The following evening, the same vehicle returned to Williamsburg and carried out two additional BB gun attacks. Shomrim volunteers began trailing the car and notified the NYPD. The suspects were arrested in a parking lot near Broadway and Whipple Street, and a BB gun was recovered at the scene.
The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the case, as all victims were Orthodox Jews. Charges against the suspects are currently being finalized.
Williamsburg Shomrim expressed gratitude to the NYPD 90th Precinct and the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force for their swift and professional response, highlighting the strong collaboration and effective teamwork that led to the swift apprehension of the suspects.

this would be a teachable moment, if the police weren’t required to practice “catch and release”. notice how groups like blm or the aclu aren’t exactly lining up to protect the civil rights of jews.
Hochul is frantic to release these BB savages, to earn their votes
Dumb animals
And they will all be released without bail of course. Typical antisemitic work by New York State
In the 50s, 60s & 70s, it was the Jewish community—rabbis, lawyers, activists—who marched, litigated, and bled alongside Black Americans to end Jim Crow and push forward the civil rights movement.
Today, in 2025, we see young Black men in Brooklyn and Williamsburg targeting religious Jews with violence—bb guns, sucker punches, hate in broad daylight.
From ally to target. From solidarity to silence.
Gratitude doesn’t mean eternal loyalty, but violence against the very people who stood by you? That’s not justice. That’s betrayal.
funny, they don’t look like white supremacists.
