NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A group of teens is sought in a series of Queens antisemitic attacks on the third day of Passover that's being investigated by the NYPD's Hate Crimes Task Force.
The teens first approached a 49-year-old man at Caffrey and Mott avenues around 2:45 p.m. Friday and began throwing rocks at him while shouting antisemitic remarks. A girl in the group then pulled out a razor before a good Samaritan intervened and scared them off, police said.
Seven hours later, around 9:30 p.m., the group struck again at Brookhaven Avenue and Beach 17th Street, hurling antisemitic insults at a 48-year-old man. One boy then pushed the man to the ground, and they all fled.
He was not physically harmed, police said.
There have been no arrests, and the investigations are ongoing.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
