Masked assailant filmed grabbing Hasidic child walking with father in Brooklyn

A masked assailant is filmed grabbing a Hasidic child in Brooklyn who was walking with his father on Saturday afternoon.

The child’s father holds onto the boy’s hand, as he is flung into the air by the suspect, who then releases him. The father then separates his children from the suspect before they appear to go in separate directions.

The video is posted by a spokesperson for Chabad, who writes, “Something is clearly going on in Crown Heights—there have been incident after incident over the past two weeks.

This video is shocking. A perpetrator grabbed a Chasidic child who was walking with his father today at approximately 3:30pm on Kingston near Lefferts Ave.
