A 21-year-old ultra-Orthodox woman escaped unscathed from an air rifle shooting incident in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, a stronghold of Satmar Hasidism, because the wig she was wearing got caught between the bullets and her head.
The event took place last Saturday, around 19:20.
According to a report on the Yeshiva World website, a vehicle approached the young woman who was standing at the corner of Ross Street and Bedford Avenue, and one of its occupants opened fire on her from an air rifle.
She was hit in the head by the bullets.
According to police investigators, the air rifle bullets could have injured her, but her wig absorbed the bullets and protected her from injury.
Police are investigating the attack, although according to reports, police are unsure if the attack was anti-Semitic.
