NYPD investigates more anti-Semitic attacks after Jewish teens beaten, synagogue worshippers harassed
Fox News
NYPD’s Hate Crimes Division said Saturday it’s investigating two more incidents targeting Jewish people in New York City that appeared to be prompted by the recent Israel-Palestinian conflict.
The crowd demanded that the teens chant "free Palestine" before beating them, officials said. Dov Hikind, a former atate assemblyman and founder of the grassroots coalition Americans Against Anti-Semitism, said in a tweet that the teens were "saved by a Muslim Uber driver who drove them to safety." Another incident Saturday in Brooklyn involved Orthodox Jews who were reportedly harassed in front of a synagogue on 16th Avenue by a group of males yelling "Free Palestine -- kill all the Jews."More Related News
