Video shows man brutally kicking and beating Orthodox Jewish kids playing on NYC sidewalk
[NYP] A Citi Bike-riding brute viciously beat two Orthodox Jewish boys, ages 11 and 13, playing on a Brooklyn sidewalk Sunday night in a disturbing, caught-on-video ordeal, cops and sources said.
Now the NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating whether the attack — which saw the man kicking and stomping on one of the youngsters — was an antisemitic assault, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Several kids were playing in front of a condo building on Franklin Avenue near Myrtle Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant just before 9 p.m. Sunday when a stranger stopped his bike mid-block, between two parked cars, and stormed up to the kids, according to the video, obtained by Williamsburg 365 News.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
