Brooklyn kids stung by vicious 'Drano bomb' chemical attack by teens 

Cops were hunting a group of teenagers Monday night wanted for tossing a burning chemical cocktail on some Brooklyn children as they played outside, police said.

The teenagers tossed a bottle, believed to be filled with a mix of Drano and other liquids, across South Eighth St. in Williamsburg on Sunday about 8 p.m., police and witnesses said. The stinging substance splashed several kids.

Yakov Frankel, 10, and Esther Pollak, 12, were treated at Bellevue Hospital and released after doctors tended to their burned face and eyes, family members said.

"It exploded and it went in my face," said Esther. "It was hot."

Her mom, Lea Pollak, 38, said doctors explained that the concoction "was a mixture of Drano, Tide and lemon juice.

"The eye doctor said she was lucky," added Pollak.

The teens, who live just across the street, have teased the children - who are Hasidic Jews - in the past, neighbors said.

"They call it a Drano bomb," said Pincus Frankel, whose son Yakov is now sporting a a red ring around his eye and burns on his lips from the acid.

The Chutzpa is that the police said right away it was not a hate crime. If it was a black kid the feds would already be involved
