The New Normal? Knife-Wielding Man Shouting ‘Heil Hitler’ Chases Jewish Student in NYC
|
[PJMedia] In our post-Oct. 7 world, one in which the New York Times can note in astonishment that some Israelis still view themselves as victims of the worst single-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, a story about a Jew being chased through the streets of a major Western city is unfortunately not that surprising.
I've already written about a couple of cases this year. A man who noticed a couple in Santa Monica, Calif., wearing Jewish stars while he was driving threatened to kill them, yelling: “You’re a Zionist, motherf***ing pedophile, motherf***ing Jew. Child killer!” It didn't end there. He got out of his vehicle and sicced his Italian mastiff on the Jews, one of whom was bitten.
PJ Media's Matt Margolis wrote last month, "New Yorkers elected a blatantly antisemitic mayor, and they are getting exactly the city that comes with that choice." Attacks against Jews are surging this year, and in the very same week that Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez traveled to New York City and met with his socialist comrade, Mamdani, there have been two very disturbing incidents targeting Jews on NYC streets.
Early Wednesday morning, a man wielding what appears to be a knife chased an identifiably Jewish yeshiva student down a Crown Heights residential street after threatening him and throwing trash cans in his direction. Security footage posted by Crown Heights Shmira Patrol (CHSP) shows the student reaching the safety of his doorway before the assailant, who can be heard shouting, "Now I know where you live" and "Heil f***ing Hitler!," is able to physically assault him. He did, however, allegedly slash the tires of bicycles on the property, according to a COLlive report. NYPD officers eventually arrested the suspect after he had managed to escape from them by jumping over fences.
In another incident on Wednesday, a rabbi was not fortunate enough to avoid physical assault, this time in Boro Park, which, like Crown Heights, has a large Hasidic population. The Boro Park Shomrim neighborhood watch group released video of a man beating the rabbi with his fists. The man was later arrested.
The NYPD said the suspect had approached the 24-year-old victim and began cursing and threatening him.
When the victim ran away, the suspect chased him and continued to threaten him with the knife and was later arrested, the NYPD said. Police identified the suspect as Devin Best, 48, from the Bronx. He was charged with aggravated harassment as a hate crime and menacing and the NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force was investigating.
The incident took place during the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday morning.
Separately, the Boro Park Shomrim neighborhood watch group released video showing a suspect beating a Jewish man with his fists. The victim was a rabbi, Boro Park Shomrim said. Police said the attack took place on Wednesday night and identified the victim as a 66-year-old man who was taken to Maimonides Medical Center in stable condition.
The assailant approached the victim and “began striking him with a closed fist in the face and about the body,” and was arrested, police said.
The suspect was arrested and charged with two counts of assault, and one count each of obstruction of breathing and harassment.
Police identified the suspect as Eric Avrutov, 31, from Brooklyn.
There was no indication the police were treating the incident as a hate crime.
Crown Heights and Boro Park both have large Hasidic populations.
