A Jewish teen was attacked on Avenue M in Midwood on Tuesday afternoon and Senator Felder is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the apprehension, arrest and indictment of the person or persons responsible for the hate crime. If you have any information on this hate crime, please call the NYPD at 1-800-577-8477 (TIPS).
“I am shocked and appalled at this violent act of anti-Semitism smack in middle of our neighborhood in broad daylight! I’m calling on anyone with information about this horrendous attack to let the NYPD know immediately,” said Senator Felder. “Criminals who terrorize communities with hate crimes must be prosecuted beyond the full extent of our current laws!”
As previously reported on Matzav.com, the victim and his friend, both 18, were at Avenue M and East 18th Street in Midwood at approximately 2 p.m., when another group of individuals walked up to the two Jews and demanded that they say ‘Free Palestine.’ One of the assailants then punched the victim in the face. The assailants then fled towards Elm Avenue. The victim suffered a bloodied eye and was transported by Flatbush Hatzolah to Maimonides Medical Center.
I hope he is ok. He should of said free palistine and avoided this altercation. These incidents raise the costs of health care for all of us. Why is this not considered? Besides this yid is not asked to do avaida zara. What’s the problem? But somebody is going to get $5000 smackaroos, not to shabby.
we are lucky to have such a dedicated and hard working senator in the frum areas.
How come we haven’t had any offer from Hochul, Adams, or James?
