A 21 year old Lubavitch Bochur was attacked by three black males on Kingston Avenue at approximately 5:00 am Wednesday morning.
The victim was walking on Kingston Avenue near Union Street when a white BMW pulled up on the street alongside him, and three males got out of the car and pulled out a gun.
The black males first shouted at the victim and then proceeded to punch him in the face and kick him, knocking him to the floor.
The Bochur shouted for help, and the attackers fled in their car. Nothing was stolen from the victim.
The police are investigating the incident, and looking at video surveillance from the area for more details.
it was just a few weeks ago we were praising an individual that was black. everyone was saying how blacks as a whole arent bad people, but all of a sudden we’re criticizing blacks, how they do such terrible things. just not right!
Um, read the article, Hashem didn’t “do this”, three black thugs did.
WHY DOES HASHEM DO THIS( people say everithing hashem
does is for the good) OYE VEY !!!???!!!???!!!
wow. did you even bother to read the title?
I know people have large families here and a dog is an extra expense. However, they are fabulous for urban protection. A mugger will think twice before attacking a person with a medium to large size dog. Do a mitzvah, get a dog from the pound and he or she will be your full-time security guard and they will provide you with extra joy and fun as well.
All types people get mugged in New York. If I walk around early, I usually make believe I am talking on the cell phone.
dont know were you live but in america tasers and mace are legal.
this is crazy blacks get whatever they want because the policemen are black and they are protecting themselves as we should start carrying a pepper spray to protective yourself! i hope the bocher is ok refuah sheleimah. oh and 57 this isn’t a joke. moshiach now!
Tasers, mace, are illegal, so only the criminals can use them. They get away with it because they are poor disadvantaged blacks who are only beating up rich Jews out of resentment…
What;s your answer?
How dare the bocher walk in Brooklyn at 5 am alone???
Where does he think he is??? America?
Losers!
The police is always minutes away…
seriosly? why is a bouchur walking so early in the morning. i mean, what happened was wrong, but wasn’t he asking 4 it. life is not perfect. fact.and listen, we live in ny, and face it,yeah, it is dangerous. and tell me why bouchurim are walking around in the morning so early. you know how many times i see teens, or even yuang boys, coming in drunk. it’s verry sad! take care of yourself, and don’t ask 4 truabel! if u don’t wanna b mugged, b smart, and don’t walk around so early or late. i mean, seriosly! use your… Read more »
I see kids walking all hours of the night here …. do not walk alone after dark -adults too!
I guess nobody cares where this was; if it was on kingston out of the neighborhood or in the neighborhood; nobody knows what street? bad reporting ?!?
Why a 21 year old bochur walks down the street at 5am?
The yiden need to lern krav magha so that theey can devend themselfes.
Why in Israel jewish people are not stoned, beat up in the street by Arabs or stabbed to death during their sleep in their home during Shabbat????
If they are jews in Galout it’s Hashem will. Like your brother like yourself and then the Galout will end for all of us.
The only solution is forcing every storekeeper to keep their stores open 24 hrs a day.
That will also help the economy as more jobs will open up
in order to protect CH residents we have to open more 7 11s and Dunkin Donuts in the area. The steady flow of cos to these outlets will finally create a visible police presence in Crown Heights. That’s the ONLY way to gets the cops there 24 h a day – especially at night.
Maybe Gombos and Nushworld can start donuts give aways for the protective services?
If it would be a jok it woud be funny
Please reread your comment before posting. Fight Back- be attacked by a gun all of you who suggested that, and see if you want to throw a punch. A bullet and a bite don’t compare. More Police- I know we’re all positively sure that the Police stand around doing nothing all day, but seriously, they are doing something, no matter how much we deny it. And that’s just beside the point, because the fact is, we can’t expect the cops to be at the right place at the right time, by every incident. More cameras, more publicity, somehow tracking the… Read more »
The schools should be teaching self defense!!!!
as it sais they fled when he called for help….dont u think that was the right thing to do?
I hope this incident will be dealt with properly. I don’t know how it will be under the new management at the police dept, but when a friend of mine was harrassed and chased after by three black teenagers two years ago, the police gave her the clear message that she should not publicize it, or else..
#33 Thanks for discouraging people from getting training that just might save their lives. Does self defense training save the day in all cases NO. However it does give you an advantage over anyone without the training. Your logic is like if a guy just had a sever hart attack he shouldn’t go to the hospital because most people can’t be saved???
funny how the blacks flee when he calls for help
is he ok?????
at least nothing happened!
everyone should learn krav maga, or karate.
I agree fully. The police should be walking the beat at all hours, especially early am and late pm. I hope the new management will install lots more cops. Thank You.
TO NUMBER 36.
How do you know for sure ?
really run from a gun? can you run 1150 feet per second which is what an avg 9mm fires at??
and even when he started screaming they just beat him, they did NOT shoot. so had he fought back with half skill he would have been just fine instead of got beat up and remain traumatized forever!
and im speaking of the fact that jews get beat up a few times a week
Who walks around at 5am in the morning?
to #23 poster #22 was just being sarcastic
To all of u saying fight back u should read the hole article it says there were three of them and that had a gun so what were his chances c’mon. the best thing for him to do is run
The riots still continue. The ongoing assaults 2 bachurim yungerleit etc etc still continues these morons can’t behave themselves at all, it will continue if we don’t stop it. In Williamsburg this wouldn’t go on the Chapt Zem thing stops all that from happening. Let’s learn from the Hoongarish once & 4 all. End the galus
No defense course short of going to Japan for 12 years will help you against 3 assailants.
to 29, effective pepper spray is illegal in NY.
You see what happens when you get comfortable in golus. Crown Heights is not your real home and its only going to get worse. Are you waiting to be shlepped out of golus by your hair? Enough of this mishugas come to Israel already.
#26#29#30. Its great that you have taken the initiative to protect your family but you should look into getting some self defense lessons as well email chprotection@gmail.com for more info there are great classes happening NOW in CH
This one seems amazing. It dyes the thugs face green to help cops identify and it burns like crazy.

I wanted to buy one of those too, to find out they are not legal in NYC. Check these out, they seem pretty strong and they are legaL in NY.

There should be HIDDEN camaras All over Crown Heights!
#11 U must have read my comment backwards I am absolutely not putting the blame on the Bochor I was taking a dig at the NYPD’s latest advice to the community that they are handing out on Kingston avenue.
i read the story and decided thats it, i bought 3 tasers for my family. its time to protect ourselves.
http://www.defenseproducts101.com/tasers2-2.html
He was probably on the way to mikvah and then to learn chassidus. Hashem should protect him and us all
What street was it on?
i agree we need more cameras on the street.Guys and girls need to walk in pairs or small groups whenever possible as a precaution (eventhough its not the solution to the problem which needs immediate attention!)The bochur should take some arnica for shock,hope he i ok
To #22 they probably were illegal guns without a permit
Why did the NYC give these creeps a concealed carry permit?!
3 large blacks with a gun?? Are u kidding me? You don’t fight back at that point and leave your parents to bury a child! BH it wasn’t even worse! What behaymahs!!!
this was not a bochur, but someone from the other community? the whole world would hear about it. is that not how the riots started?
why are we keeping quiet?bombard the news and police stations
There’s no point in more cops if they wont prosecute. These guys dont care about cop cause even if caught they dont sit. We need to start making some serious convictions and korbonos.
1. You must protect yourself in life. Don’t expect any officer or hero to come to your aid. Learn how to defend yourself and exercise that right. Cops can’t be on every single block at every moment. Your a fool to blame cops for not being at every mugging as it happens, these attacks don’t last more than 10-15 seconds.
should i not leave my house before it gets light out?????????????
Lets start hearing it. Flood the streets with more cops. Every corner, in middle of the blocks, in our houses!!! We can’t take care of yourself!! Stay home after dark.
Ooooor if you see something FIGHT BACK! Break some bones as they would do to you.
You want to know why this happens here more then most places? Because we are free hits. They beat us up and run. Nothing ever happens to them.
Start making it not worth it for them. Fight back already
WE NEED SHEMIRA BACK IN ACTION ASAP
is he alright??
B.H. What’s a wrong with you, number 3 comment. This happened at 5 a.m, so tell us, which stores are open at this early morning, to get help? This was not the Bochur’s fault.
Ridiculous comment.
The cops only parade around in the afternoon when we don’t need them, when the streets are empty at night or early morning when patrol is most necessary they hit up DD and enjoy a hot coffee and doughnut, you think only Jews run from crime ? so do cops.
Never again
where were all the cops I saw parading the street yesterday afternoon?
but where on Kingston Ave is the picture ?
We should encourage home and business owners to install video cameras as much as possible.
Perhaps the CHJCC can initiate it and perhaps get subsidized rates.
this sounds gang related. now that they beat up a Jew, they can be instated into their gang. The reason they like gangs, is that it makes them feel like they are part of a family which they ususally aren’t priveleged to have. Nobody wins.
is he ok?
I guess our friendly local criminal’s didn’t get the memo about the zero tolerance for crime or maybe it’s the bochor’s fault for not walking into a store to make a phone call????
Its time to fight your own fights. The cops are always going to be there just in time to take a report. Its time we started protecting ourselves for once. An eye for an eye
is the bochur ok?
moshiach now!
