Rock Thrown At Hasidic Man In Brooklyn For 2nd Time This Week
For the second time this week, someone threw a rock at a Hasidic man in Brooklyn.
The attack happened Thursday evening at about 5:00 p.m. in Crown Heights, at the intersection of Brooklyn Avenue and Park Place.
A 34-year-old Hasidic man driving a pick up was stopped at a red light, when a teenager threw a rock at him through his window.
Police say he had a cut on his head.
He was treated by EMS at the scene.
The suspect was described as a male teenager.
There have been no arrests announced in this case yet, or in the previous attack that happened Tuesday a mile away at Lincoln Terrace Park.
There, a 63-year-old rabbi was beaten with a paving stone, suffering a broken nose and two broken teeth.
The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is investigating both attacks.
Both are part of a jump in hate crimes in the city this year.
Through May, the NYPD reported a 64 percent increase, with 60 percent of those hate crimes coming against Jewish people.
