The victim was a rabbi and the assailant was arrested, Boro Park Shomrim says.
Police say the victim is a 66-year-old man who was taken to Maimonides Medical Center in stable condition.
The suspect was arrested and charged with assault, obstruction of breathing and harassment.
Crown Heights and Boro Park both have large ultra-Orthodox populations. Jews are targeted in hate crimes in New York City more than all other groups combined.
