The New York Police Department (NYPD) is looking for two black teenagers who are suspected of committing hate crimes after they attacked two Orthodox Jews in Williamsburg this weekend, Yeshiva World reported.
During one incident that was captured on a surveillance camera, a Jewish man was being chased by two teens on Lee Avenue between Taylor Street and Roebling Avenue. One of the suspects stole the victim’s shtreimel (fur hat) after it had fallen to the ground during the chase.
In the second incident, which happened early on Sunday morning, a suspect sprayed a 66-year-old Jewish man twice with a chemical fire extinguisher and then punched him in the face, causing minor injuries.
The incidents are currently being investigated by the NYPD as possible hate crimes.
