Jewish men were attacked in two incidents in Brooklyn neighborhoods in recent days.
The New York borough has seen a number of assaults against identifiable Jews in the past several months.
On Monday, a man walking to morning prayers in the Gravesend neighborhood was verbally assaulted before the assailant attempted to punch him several times. The attack was first reported by New York City Councilman Chaim Deutsch in a tweet. He said the New York Police Department’s Hate Crimes Unit is investigating the incident.
