‘Jews are eating kids!’: NYC subway passenger assaults 23-year-old Jewish woman
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA passenger on a New York City subway is seen yelling “Jews are eating kids!” then assaulting a 23-year-old Jewish woman, in a recording the latter shared with the Combat Antisemitism Movement.
The perpetrator, a young Black woman, appears to be wearing a military-style camouflage coat with a patch depicting the German tricolor flag.
In the video, she can be seen telling the Jewish woman, who is filming, “I smell the kids.”
After a jump-cut, the woman behind the camera is heard saying “Don’t touch me,” after which the harasser appears to reach out to touch her, declaring once again that “Jews are eating kids.”
When other passengers react, and lightly restrain the assailant, she responds: “Whoa, whoa, whoa, it’s okay for her to eat a kid, but I can’t choke her down?”
Then, the Jewish woman turns the camera around and — her face blurred in the video posted online — declares, “I was just assaulted!”

According to CAM, the incident took place on Sunday.
“Around 2:15 PM, a woman told [the victim] she could ‘smell the babies’ she had eaten and yelled that ‘Jews eat babies’ before choking her, throwing her to the ground, and beating her,” the organization says, though the clip does not include footage of those events.
The group also posts photos of what appears to be a ball of hair torn from the victim’s head during the assault.
