A Jewish man was repeatedly punched in the face while shopping in a store on Thursday afternoon.
The incident occurred this past Thursday at approximately 3:00pm. The victim was shopping in a store located near St John’s Place and Kingston Ave when a mentally unstable individual approached the victim from behind and started to demand money while yelling racial slurs. She then proceeded to attack the victim and repeatedly punched him in the face and then fled the store.
The victim immediately called the police and Crown Heights Shmira. Shmira volunteers were successful in locating the perpetrator and directed the NYPD to her location where she was arrested.
The victim was not seriously hurt, b”h.
In case of an emergency, call 911 and Shmira 24/7 at 718-221-0303.

Already another attack
Crazy world
Thank you shmira for everything you do!!
This mentally unstable individual likely lives in the Apartment building turned Violent Homeless Shelter at 243 Kingston Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11213
This large building (80 apartments) was quietly turned into a full scale homeless shelter during Covid, without any community input.
Since then, Kingston Ave between Lincoln Pl & S John Place has 24/7 creepy dangerous characters violently & inappropriately harassing everyone walking by.
Any other shady locations to be wary of?
These drug shelters need to be taken out of here and moved somewhere where they won’t have opportunity to attack the Jews, which is why so many were moved specifically to our neighborhood. Having said that, we have had a huge issue with crime way before those ‘shelters’ were brought in, that just increased it. Plenty of crime against our community from local criminals too for many many years.
Boruch Hashem! Great job, Shmira!
This is why it is very important that ALL Jewish communities must learn Self Defence, if these sub humans know we defend ourselves these attacks will stop, they are only brave if they think they can get away with it. I thought that there was lessons in Crown Heights, everyone must learn even Ladies and young Children.
