The Anti-Defamation League is offering the $10,000 reward for information that would lead to the prosecution of the perpetrator of an antisemitic assault in Crown Heights on the night of November 11.
According to Police, the victim was standing in front of 711 Empire Boulevard when he was approached by a group of 5 men who hurled antisemitic slurs, with one of the perps striking him in the head causing his glasses to break.
Crown Heights Hatzolah also responded to the scene, but the victim did not require any serious medical intervention.
“We are once again reeling in the wake of a possible antisemitic attack in Crown Heights, Brooklyn,” ADL NY/NJ regional director Scott Richman said in a statement.”These incidents have a profound impact on the entire community – causing trauma, fear and substantial distress. We want all New Yorkers to know that these acts will not be tolerated or ignored. We hope that this reward will bring about information that will lead to a swift arrest.”
The NYPD Hate Crime Task Force tweeted pictures of the individual and asked those who know the suspect to contact the police department as soon as possible.
If you have any information which can assist the investigation, please call 911.
