[Click HERE for photos] This past Saturday night, a Jewish resident of the “Kiryas Avreichim” complex in South Fallsburg was suddenly assaulted by three local teens while leisurely walking on Elm Road. They began yelling anti-Jewish slurs, and punched him in the face. The innocent victim blacked out, and upon regaining consciousness started screaming for help. Neighbors from the Jewish complex quickly ran to his aid, and upon their arrival, the teens started fighting with them as well. The teens eventually fled the scene, but promised that they would return.
The Fallsburg Police Department responded to the scene, and detectives began an investigation.
A meeting was held on Sunday morning between Fallsburg Police Chief Simmy Williams, Sullivan County Sheriff Mike Schiff & Undersheriff Eric Chaboty, Rabbi Bernard Freilich (NYSP), Rabbi Joel Gold (NYS-DEC Police Chaplain), and Rabbi Simcha Bernard (Chaplain Sullivan County Sheriff). Chief Williams promised to add additional patrols and have the teens found and brought to justice. The Sheriff Department offered their services as well.
As they had promised, the teens returned on Sunday night, walked into the parking lot of the complex, assaulted a Jewish man sitting in his car, threw him out, and stole the vehicle. Fallsburg Police responded instantly, and the vehicle was located a short while later.
Detectives began an intense investigation, and on Monday afternoon, three arrests were made; two 14-year-olds, and one 15-year-old were charged with the following: Robbery in the 2nd degree, Grand Larceny in the 3rd Degree, Assault on Saturday night, Assault on Sunday night, and Criminal Mischief.
“I’m glad we were able to arrest these three teens before they attacked another victim”, Chief Williams told YWN.
YWN commends Chief Williams, the detectives of the Fallsburg Police Department, and the Sullivan County Sheriff Department who did an outstanding job in apprehending these vicious thugs.

wow its amazing!!!we really have to be cautious and alert when walking on the road-especially at night!!!
im glad these boys were arrested- what are such young boys doing this for???why from so long???
how long are they gonna sit in jail???
Great job by the local PD…I hope the law will allow them to be tried as adults?
Its really amazing that the local residents don’t realize how much the jews infuse into their economy over the summer. Of course, part of it is that we think that we are in charge, which tends to tick people off.
YWN – try to follow up on this. The summer will soon be over and the Yidden will be leaving the area. I’d like to know if these chayas just get a slap on the wrist or a serious punishment.
Kudos to the Fallsburg PD for a job well done.
Unfortunately, they’ll probably not go to jail because they’re underage minors. If anything, they’ll go to some juvenile detention center for a very short time and when they reach adulthood, their offenses will be expunged because they were minors!
bubby lakewood is right. Its so sad how such youngsters have no problem doing such things.
Actually, for their own sake, they should want some jail time. Otherwise the feds will be preasured to file bias charges, and that is serious.
I wrote to Chief Williams and thanked him and his force. You can too.
He wrote back and appreciated it very much.
Probably Some Nazi’s Great Grandkids!
