(NEW YORK, N.Y. 5/7/2022) — The New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NY) today condemned a heinous, bigoted assault upon a 32-year-old man that occurred Friday afternoon in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood.
The assailant allegedly walked over to the victim and began punching and kicking him while shouting hateful, anti-Jewish slurs. He then fled on foot but was later spotted by surveillance cameras.

We are thankful that the victim is recovering from his injuries and urge the NYPD to capture the perpetrator before he inflicts further harm upon others.”
