“A New York City Firefighter sustained a concussion and several broken teeth Saturday after police say he was assaulted while trying to stop a group of teens from harassing an elderly couple,” reports Fox News.
“The 38-year-old off-duty firefighter was traveling on East 86th St. in Manhattan at around 9:25 a.m. Saturday when he noticed six teens ‘harassing’ an elderly couple,” a spokesperson with the New York City Police Department told Fox News.
The vicious attack comes just days after a string of anti-Semitic assaults swept Brooklyn.
“Just received a report that a Hasidic father & son were beaten up in Williamsburg this past Friday night for no other reason than being Jewish. Police report has been filed. Here’s footage of the four violent suspects behind the attack – help @NYPDDetectives find them!” posted Dov Hikind, a former NY Assemblyman from Brooklyn.

“It’s shocking but not surprising that such violent hate crimes are being committed against Jews (yesterday in Bklyn) just as antisemitism is being mainstreamed. This attack resembles Nazi Germany where antisemites attacked Jews with glee. We won’t tolerate it!” he added.

The largest single spike in antisemitic hate crimes across the country is in NYC (72%) – and yet the media reports very little on it? Why? Sadly they don’t because in these cases it’s not a white supremacist doing the attacking and that doesn’t fit their narrative.
