A Chasidic Jew was assaulted in Manhattan, and according to a published report, bystanders did nothing to stop the vicious attack.
According to a report by the Algemeiner, the attack occurred this past Monday afternoon in the lobby of 575 5th Avenue. The victim was reportedly sitting at a table and eating a sandwich, when an “Arab-looking” man demanded that he move. According to a witness interviewed by Algemeiner the assailant didn’t want to share a table with a Jewish man. The victim allegedly told the man that he had arrived at the table first, and that he would finish eating quickly and give up his seat. Then, the witness said, “This Arab-looking man punched him in the face multiple times, before fleeing the scene with his girlfriend.”
To make matters worse, the victim told Algemeiner that “He punched me in the neck and there was security [there] and nobody interfered. They were just watching…I got bruised… and security didn’t even call 911, nothing. They’re just standing there and watching.”
Police were eventually notified, and detectives are investigating the incident.

This is the sick would we live in today. Everyone goes up in arms if a cat gets hurt, there’s uproar about the practice of Kapparos. But when a human being is beaten, his plight is ignored.
So true uncle mo.
Some of the bystanders were also Jewish. This story makes no sense
It was because he’s an Arab. Everyone is afraid to antagonize the Muslims but apparently their less afraid of antagonizing the Jews. Maybe we should start doing some of the pr stuff they do.
haha! He was there first? That’s what you think! disregard the obvious evidence before your eyes and face the truth. The Arab was there first he was always there, and in fact the table was actually a mosque that his ancestors built on that site. Any Jew who had the nerve to take over his table of historical holiness which had been his for at least 10,000 years is obviously an illegal settler and must be removed with force.
Welcome to Obama’s Muslim world – the new protected species.
The security guard should be fired, after viewing the cameras.
This is in the middle of the diamond center. No other Jews were there?
and where are the security cameras?
sounds strange and hard to believe, but in today’s messed up world, who knows….
