BY AIDAN GRAHAM
Police arrested a Brownsville man on
hate crime charges on Sept. 12 for allegedly
beating a Rabbi with a paving
stone in Crown Heights.
The 26-year-old suspect, who was
cuffed on charges including assault as
a hate crime and criminal possession
of a weapon, was immediately hospitalized
following his arrest, cops said.
Police Department spokeswoman Offi
cer Arlene Muniz could not comment
regarding why he was hospitalized.
The 63-year-old Jewish leader was
walking through Lincoln Terrace
Park near Buffalo and East New York
avenues in the early morning hours of
Aug. 27, when the 26-year-old suspect
threw a rock at him, which missed, according
to police.
A scuffl e ensued when the rabbi
confronted the stone hurler, leading
his alleged attacker to savagely smash
a massive paving stone into the victim’s
face, knocking out his two front
teeth, cops said.
First responders took the victim to
Maimonides Medical Center in Borough
Park for treatment of non-life
threatening injuries, authorities said.
The victim’s son-in-law, popular
Hasidic singer Benny Friedman , took
to Twitter the day after the attack to
praise his father-in-law and blast his
attacker as an anti-Semite.
“This is absolutely frightening, and
obviously something that a civilization
should never tolerate,” said Friedman.
“This morning my father in law
was back in the park. He refuses to be
afraid, and he will not let evil or hate
determine how he lives his life.”
