Disturbing moment a group of seven teens launch a savage attack on Orthodox Jew walking in Brooklyn – the 14th incident of anti-Semitic violence recorded in New York in four weeks

Disturbing footage has emerged of an Orthodox Jewish man being assaulted by a group of seven teenagers as he walked down a street in Brooklyn – in what has become the 14th documented incident of anti-Semitic violence in New York in less than four weeks. 

The incident occurred in Crown Heights on December 24, just four days before an assailant – believed to be 37-year-old Grafton Thomas – stabbed five people with a machete inside a rabbi’s home as they celebrated the seventh night of Hanukkah in Monsley, New York, late Saturday. 

In the newly uncovered footage a Jewish man, who has not been identified, can be seen walking down Lincoln Place near Albany Avenue when he encounters a large group of black teenagers. 

The man is seen attempting to avoid their path, but tries to walk around the group one of the teens throws a folding camping chair at his head and knocks him off balance.
