(Jewish Group) Orthodox man assaulted in Brooklyn
Three unidentified men assaulted an Orthodox Jewish man after the victim gave them the middle finger.
Officials said the victim, a 51-year-old man, was walking near New York Community Hospital in the Midwood section of Brooklyn on July 11 when two Black men and a Hispanic man in a silver SUV rolled past, the New York Daily News reported on Thursday.
One of the suspects in the SUV yelled “F—– Jew!” at the man, who in turn gave the men the middle finger. The suspects, all young men under 40, then leaped from the vehicle and punched the victim in the head before running back to the SUV and driving off. The victim sustained minor injuries.
The incident is being investigated as a potential hate crime.
