(JEWISH GROUP) Man charged with hate crime for chasing woman and child in Queens, yelling 'Kill the Jews!'
A 53-year-old man was arrested after he chased a woman pushing a stroller with a small child in it down a Queens street as he brandished a metal pipe and spewed anti-Semitic hate, police said on Friday.
The 59-year-old victim was pushing a 7-year-old in a stroller outside of Khal Chassidim of Bayswater synagogue on Westbourne Ave. in Bayswater shortly after 9 a.m. Thursday when a man wielding a metal pipe started chasing them and yelling, “Kill the Jews!” according to a criminal complaint documenting the incident.
The man chased them for about a block, when the woman and child managed to escape unhurt into a house, where they called the police.
Cops arrested Courtney Bryan, 53, at the scene. Bryan is charged with menacing, harassment, stalking and endangering the welfare of a child as hate crimes, as well as criminal possession of a weapon, according to court documents.
