Jewish community 'terrified' after rash of anti-Semitic attacks in Brooklyn
NYPD's commissioner made a special trip to Brooklyn Monday night to reassure members of the Jewish community that they're safe amid a rash of anti-Semitic attacks in the area.
Williamsburg is a family neighborhood and next week the children, many of them from the Hasidic community, will be headed back to school. That left some parents terrified.
Residents say they are afraid just to even walk out on the street, fearing they will be a target because they are Jewish.
Twice last Sunday, Jewish men were targeted on the streets with a fire extinguisher, one of them was assaulted after being sprayed.
A Jewish man was also assaulted in a separate incident on Monday.
The NYPD isn't always so quick to identify an attack as a hate crime, but they had no problem in this case.
