The bloodshed happened at the world headquarters of the Lubavitch Hasidic sect at 770 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights shortly after 1 a.m., sources said.
Sources said the homeless man had walked into the basement of the synagogue where people were praying.
According to police sources, the man asked for a copy of the Bible, then briefly walked out, sources said.
Some witnesses said that man simply ask for a “book in English.”
He returned and stabbed a an Israeli student in the side of the head for an unknown reason.
“He’s a very serious student he’d been studying all day,” witness Levi Deutsch said about the victim. “He was stabbed in the side of the head he was conscious but he was bleeding a lot.”
Another witness flagged down cops who were passing the headquarters. Officers confronted the man and ordered him to put the knife down, the source said.
After initially dropping the weapon, he then picked it up and charged at the officers.
At one point an officer fired one round into his body, wounding him.
Both the suspect and the stabbed victim were at Kings County in critical condition.

770 needs better security. What if an entire gang tried to enter G-d forbid.
Anyone who is familiar with what Chazal say about Machlokes,
knows that as Machlokes Matters are not corrected, it leads to such things.
Many years ago, when Tragedy had befallen several Lubavitcher (A Car Accident) and (although many had perished, yet) 1 life was hanging in balance and still had a chance to be saved, the Rebbe pleaded with
his Chassidim to stop the Machlokes, in order to save that life, hanging in balance.
Sadly the Machlokes Makers, didn’t listen, and he too, had
perished..
Hopefully we can be smarter this time and listen to the
warning issued by the Rebbe himself, to us all.
770 is for everyone and everyone must feel free to
participate in any variety of shire of their own choosing.
It’s pertinent especially in the Ezras Noshim where every
women who enters must feel welcome and feel free to participate in any one of many, different Shire, rather than being controlled and persuaded with Sinas Chinum….
I am a women from out of town, who came to 770, in the Ezras
Noshim, to learn and Daven and to intermingle, welcome and greet everyone, which I did.
Later that day, after I left 770 and visited several private homes, to help raise funds for Tzedaka, I was told by one individual women (who feels that only she runs the show), that I had better not talk to this person or to that person (all those whom she doesn’t like) lest she make sure that no one will ever help me with my Tzedaka cause.
Is this type of Sinas Chinum what the Rebbe wants in 770?
If we want the Rebbe’s Bruche and Protection in 770, we must
begin by eliminating all Sinas Chinum in all of CH especially in 770 and
especially in the Ezras Noshim.
The victims family should sue NYC for releasing dangerous people. Others, who were also victims of released, dangerous felons should join in a class action lawsuit. This is ALL the authorities understand $$$$.
