Baltimore’s Jewish community is on edge after the armed carjacking of a Jewish man on his way to shul this morning in the Ranchleigh neighborhood of the city.
At about 7:15 a.m., two masked black thugs stole a Kia Optima on Clarington Road and then abandoned it near Kehillas Meor Hatorah on Pebble Brook Road.
Spotting a Jewish man en route to shul, the perps then gave chase. The man managed to escape, but the assailants proceeded to pummel another Jewish man, who had parked his car.
The motorist was thrown out of his vehicle, tossed to the ground, and attacked, with the thugs stealing his wallet before fleeing in their original car.
There were a number of other such hate incidents this morning that are believed to be connected. Police are investigating.
Police and Baltimore Shomrim are actively searching for a black Kia Optima with license plate number 4BA3705. Call 410.307.2020 with any info.
