According to the report on the Yeshiva world news website, the victim was shot in the neck, but Benes was not seriously injured. The incident took place in the vicinity of East 18th Street.
The NYPD Hate Crimes Unit is investigating the shooting, and the Flatbush Watchmen Organization is reviewing security cameras to aid in the investigation. The shooting takes place only a day after a Hassidim father and son were hit by air bullets fired from a passing vehicle outside a kosher supermarket in Staten Island, New York. It is not yet known if there is a connection between the two attacks, the shooter from Staten Island was arrested yesterday, and it is being investigated if he has a connection to the other shooting case.
