It happened an hour ago, on the 3 line from Union Square to Kingston, one stop before. We changed from the 4 to the 3 at Franklin Station, and there they were at the station and started cursing, got on the train with us all the way to Kingston, we got off one stop before Kingston,” one of the chasidim reported.
“The moment the younger of the two realized I was recording, he attacked me,” another victim said. Another Chabad chasid began filming the incident from several feet away, and that footage later circulated on social media.
CROWN HEIGHTS: A Jewish man was stabbed in the chest by a man shouting antisemitic slurs in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood on Tuesday.
The victim was attacked near the intersection of Kingston Avenue and Lincoln Place and stabbed in the chest. He was transported to Kings County Hospital, where he was treated for his injuries and is expected to recover. Authorities said the wound was not life-threatening.
The assailant engaged the victim in a brief confrontation before shouting antisemitic slurs, including “[Expletive] these Jews,” and saying it would be acceptable if the Holocaust were to happen again. The attacker then pulled out a knife and stabbed the man in the chest. The victim fought back, preventing the blade from penetrating deeply, before the suspect fled the scene on foot.
