Last week, six Jewish boys aged 12 to 16 were the target of antisemitic intimidation in Manhattan by three other teenagers who were armed with a knife, sword and crowbar. The trio said they wanted to "get" the boys because they were Jewish and followed them home. This was on the Upper West Side.
A 16-year-old boy has been charged with gang assault and assault as a hate crime after he allegedly pushed and kicked a Hasidic man in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood without provocation.
