NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A 15-year-old boy has been arrested for two separate assaults on Jewish men in Brooklyn that happened within minutes of each other late last week.
The NYPD released surveillance video Monday of the unprovoked attack on Stockton Street, near Marcy Avenue, in Bedford-Stuyvesant on Friday night.
The 24-year-old victim was walking down the street with a second person when his attacker came up from behind and punched him in the face, video shows.
ABC 7 reports the same teen is accused of first punching a 44-year-old Jewish man in the vicinity of Myrtle and Marcy Avenues only 11 minutes before.
Police said the victims were dressed in traditional Hasidic clothing at the time.
The suspect is now charged with two counts of third-degree hate crime assault, authorities said.
