The Hashomerim organization in the Chabad neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, warned of a mentally disturbed man attacking women and children in the area.
According to their statement, the assailant was most often seen on Troy and Crown streets wearing white pants. At the same time, documents from the security cameras in the area where he was seen harassing women were published.
In one case last week, he hit a woman in the back and ran away. The woman did not need medical treatment.
The Crown Heights neighborhood also suffers from anti-Semitic incidents. A few weeks ago, a Chabad Chassidite yeshiva in Crown Heights was injured after an African-American punched him in the face for no apparent reason.
It was when the injured boy was walking with his friend on Carroll Street near Troy Avenue, on the way to the boarding school where they attend.
“Suddenly, without warning, a young African-American man punched one of the boys in the face and injured his nose and bruised his face,” said one of the witnesses.
Immediately after the attack, the attacker fled. The police were called to the scene to locate him. At the same time rescue forces were called to treat the injured boy.
