Woman tells young Jewish boy to 'go back to Lakewood,' police say
Police are searching for a woman who allegedly pushed a young Orthodox Jewish male and told him to "go back to Lakewood."
The incident happened on Sept. 5 around 10 p.m. in front of the Wal-Mart in Howell Township. Howell shares a border with Lakewood, which is home to a large Orthodox Jewish population.
The victim, only identified as an Orthodox Jewish juvenile male, told police that he was standing in front of the department store when a woman turned to him and, without provocation, told him to "go back to Lakewood you (expletive) Hasidic Jews," Detective Sgt. Christian Antunez said in news release.
The woman, who was with a man, pushed the young man and proceeded to enter the Wal-Mart, Antunez said.
Minutes later, police said, she left the store before officers arrived. She left in a four-door Kia Optima.
Antunez asked anyone with information regarding the suspect to call Howell police Detective Cpl. Nancy Carroll at 732-938-4575 ext. 2894, or email her at ncarroll@howellpolice.org.
