2 Brooklyn Hasidic Jewish Teens, 16, Chased by Men in Car Shouting ‘Allah Akbar, We Love Hitler’
Two Jewish teens have been targeted in New York’s latest anti-Semitic hate crime incident as they walked home in Brooklyn on May 18.
The two Hasidic boys, who were walking near Borough Park at around 1:30 a.m local time, were left terrified when they were harassed by a group of four men who shouted “Allah Akbar” at them from a car.
The pair ran away in terror, but were followed by the car while one of the men yelled, “Do you know Hitler? We love Hitler!” before they drove off.
It comes as another Hasidic man in his thirties came forward on May 19 to say he was also targeted in a similar attack.
He said he was just several blocks away from the site of the first reported assault and at around a similar time, when four men in a vehicle of the same description drove up to him and shouted, “[expletive removed] Jews!” and “Allah Akbar” at him, before they drove away.
Local police were notified of the initial incident when one of the targeted teen’s parents contacted former New York state Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who then accompanied them to the local NYPD precinct to file a report.
