New York City officials are investigating the structural stability of a Chabad synagogue where chaos erupted this week over a secret passageway, leading to multiple arrests.
Police said they responded to 911 calls of a disorderly group outside the Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Crown Heights on Monday night. Responding officers were informed that a group of individuals "unlawfully entered 770 Eastern Parkway by damaging a wall," the NYPD said.
When the synagogue moved to repair the wall, the men tried to stop it, according to a Chabad spokesperson.
Video shot by witnesses showed police confronting men standing within a space inside a brick wall. Others could be seen tossing desks while officers handcuffed some of the men in front of a damaged wall.
