According to reports, 2 other Hasidic victims were punched as well that night, one on 14th Avenue and 51st Street, and the other on 14th Avenue and 55th Street.
In a time when anti-Semitism is on the rise and attacks on Jews are becoming more and more frequent, Jews in NYC are left wondering when authorities will exercise the law to crack down on these lawless and hateful individuals. Residents of New York deserve safe streets. The Mayor’s office is advised that history will not reflect kindly on those who sat idly by as citizens were being attacked in the streets. We’ve all heard enough talk. It is time for action.
