A Jewish teen was confronted by a perpetrator who tried to rob him in broad daylight on Shabbos afternoon in Crown Heights.
The incident occurred near Brooklyn Ave and Carroll Street at approximately 12:30PM when the perpetrator, who was riding a bicycle, confronted and blocked his victim. He began to threaten and demand money from the victim while physically opening his jacket and checking his pockets.
This is not an isolated incident, as the same perpetrator attempted to assault another individual earlier and had subsequent interactions with more victims.
The suspect is described as a black male, wearing a ski mask, white gloves and a blue backpack. He was riding a bicycle.
The victim contacted Crown Heights Shmira and filed a police report.

Clearly the perp was a few flakes short of a corn flake box. Exactly what is he getting from a bochur on Shabbos? His hat?

Sadly you are dealing with very stupid people and as such here’s my idea: Post the Shabbos times in all the apartment buildings where these geniuses live. At least they would know when not to try to rob people. And then, if the crime rate goes down on Shabbos, everyone will know where the perps are… Read more »
to assume people who live here know the laws of shabbas is incorrect. They have no idea until a neighbor reaches out, says hello and then maybe it may come up.
