It is long past time to add Krav Maga training to yeshiva studies. Vicious idiots attack those they believe defenseless. [IsraelTimes] Two assailants ask Chabad man if he is Jewish, then stab him with screwdriver, lightly injuring him in the armAn Israeli student was stabbed and lightly injured while walking on a street in the Crown Heights neighborhood of New York City early Saturday morning. The incident is reportedly being investigated by police as a suspected hate crime. The student is a member of the Chabad Hasidic community according to Hebrew-language media reports that did not give his age. The attack happened at 2 a.m. on Saturday as the man was walking on Union Street toward Troy Avenue, the Crownheights.info website reported, citing a police report. Two men approached the student, who was described as wearing "traditional Jewish garb," and asked him if he was Jewish. They then stabbed him in the arm, apparently with a screwdriver. The student was able to return home and from there called Hatzalah, the Jewish emergency service, which took him to the hospital where he was treated. He later returned home. In a tweet, Yaacov Behrman, a public relations official for Chabad, said he had spoken with the student. "Despite being visibly traumatized, the victim expressed gratitude for not having sustained more severe injuries," Behrman reported. "This incident is deeply concerning, and we have full confidence in the NYPD’s ability to conduct a thorough investigation and apprehend the perpetrators." The incident is being investigated as a hate crime, Behram said. "We are aware of this incident and are reaching out to law enforcement and community partners," the New York division of the Anti-Defamation League tweeted. Last month it was announced police have recorded 100 anti-Jewish hate crimes in New York City since the start of the year. The figures showed Jews have been targeted more than any other group, by far, every month of the year. |

| #1 It can't be a hate crime if the victim is white. Especially if the attackers were black. /sarcasm |
