Crown Heights Shmira and the NYPD are investigating 2 separate violent hate crime incidents that occurred on Tuesday night in Crown Heights.
The first incident occurred at approximately 11:30PM near Lefferts Ave and Albany Ave when the suspect unprovokedly walked over to the victim and punched him in the face while yelling “free Palestine” and other anti-Semitic slurs. He was injured and treated for his injuries. The suspect was described as a black male, wearing a black hoodie with red strips and shorts.
The second incident occurred at approximately 12:30AM near Troy Ave and East NY Ave. A Jewish woman walking home was also unprovokedly approached by 2 suspects who hurled insults such as “we don’t like you Jews” and then proceeded to throw a construction cone in attempt to hit her. One suspect appeared to be in his 20s, while the second one is in his 50s, bald-headed, and wearing a back brace.
Crown Heights Shmira responded to and searched for the suspects in both incidents. The NYPD is currently investigating them as hate crimes.
