An antisemite physically assaulted a Jewish man in Gravesend on Tuesday night and simultaneously yelled at and spit on him. The attack occurred at around 6 PM on Avenue X near Ocean Parkway, when the assailant began shouting threats of “Allah” killing him and yelling “Allahu Akbar!” The Jewish man, nonplussed, followed the hate-filled man, who proceeded to spit on him and deliver a violent punch, all the while shouting about Allah. Thanks to a rapid response from Flatbush Shomrim, the suspect was apprehended and taken into custody by the NYPD about 15 minutes later several blocks from the scene of the attack. The incident is the latest in a string of attacks – verbal and physical – that Jews in New York have been subjected to since Hamas carried out its ghastly terror attack in Israel 10 days ago.
