Jewish man brutally assaulted after accident

A Jewish man involved in a minor fender bender accident became the victim of a brutal hate crime assault. 

The incident occurred near St Johns Place and Brooklyn Ave shortly after 5 PM when the driver of the other vehicle, without any warning or provocation, repeatedly punched the victim in his face and body and put his hands around the victim’s neck attempting to choke him. The perpetrator used anti-Semitic slurs during the assault.

The victim called Crown Heights Shmira to report the incident. Upon arrival, Shmira volunteers called the police department and Hatzalah. The victim suffered serious injuries and is being treated at a local hospital.

Shmira is assisting the victim to make sure the perpetrator is held responsible for the attack.

If you have any security cameras along or near Brooklyn Ave between Sterling Place and Eastern Parkway, please send an email to INFO@CHShmira.org or call the Shmira hotline.

In case of an emergency, call 911 and Shmira 24/7 at 718-221-0303.
