The Jewish man who was attacked and robbed on his way to a Brooklyn synagogue didn’t even realize two people were beating him in the caught-on-camera assault that left him bloodied and screaming for help, he told The Post Sunday.

“I thought it was one guy but when I saw the video, I saw that it was two guys,” recalled the 41-year-old, who only identified himself as Levi.

“I was shocked. I don’t remember anything. When I looked at the video, I saw what happened.”

On Friday morning, Levi was headed to the Shar Elizar synagogue in Flatbush to make coffee and prepare for the other congregants when two hooded men rushed him, beat him to the ground and stole religious articles he was holding before running off.

The attack left the married man with bruising around both eyes and cuts on his face. The beatdown is being investigated as a hate crime.

“They were punching me in the face. I had blood on my face, my shirt … everything was bloody,” he recalled, pointing to his eyes, cheek and his shirt.

“I was shouting, ‘Help, help,’ ” he continued, adding he rang the bell of a nearby house and when no one answered, he called Shomrim patrol, an Orthodox Jewish civilian volunteer patrol group.

  1. And yet another 80,000 fellow Yidden will be flying down to Orlando for Yom Tov as if nothing happened. Who cares? It happened to yenim so it’s not my problem. I’ve got things to do and places to go.

    • Huh? What does someone getting attacked have anything to do with going to Florida [In 2 months from now!]? I personally stay home for yomim tovim, but simply because I can’t afford it. But I could fargin yenim who could afford it to enjoy yom tov however he likes. Am I missing something here?

  2. 12:53, why not move to Orlando(or Tampa or Jacksonville) suburbs altogether? Florida allows concealed carry and has no duty to retreat. As this country follows Europe in descending into a third world chaos, self defense becomes a survival necessity. We need to leave states that make self-defense illegal. I am not even mentioning such things as no state income tax, low properly taxes, cheaper homes, and overall better standard of living. Best to stay away from any locations where the socialist-fascist Democrats have majorities, as they will always turn against us, no matter how much they pretend to be our friends.
