Shomrim issued a community safety alert for Crown Heights after two incidents of physical harassment in the area of Eastern Parkway and Schenectady subway station.

The second incident took place on Thursday night, when a young Lubavitcher woman was walking near the station. Suddenly, she was grabbed from the back by a black male, who then pushed her.

Although shaken, thankfully the victim was unhurt, and was able to continue going.

Crown Heights Shomrim were immediately summoned and followed the perp, but when the NYPD arrived no arrest was made.
