A hit-and-run vehicle slammed into three people – including a father and young son – on a Boro Park Street, Shabbos afternoon.
Sources tell YWN that the incident happened at around 6:30PM, at the intersection of 11th Avenue and 56 Street.
According to eye witnesses, the driver backed out of 56 Street and across 11th Avenue, striking the three pedestrians that were in the crosswalk. The driven then put his car into drive, and drove over two of the victims a second time.
[UPDATE: NYPD Make Arrest After Boro Park Shmira Tracks Down Driver In Triple Hit-And-Run]
Boro Park Hatzolah rushed to the scene and transported the three to local hospitals. One victim suffered broken ribs and needed many stitches.
As of late Motzei Shabbos, two victims were released from the hospital, while the third was admitted.
Community activists are wondering why the NYPD’s 66 Precinct did not send the Squad to the scene to look for camera footage from the homes in the area. Multiple sources tell YWN that police simply labeled the incident as a hit and run, and moved on. Eye witnesses say the incident was deliberate and are asking why a larger investigation hasn’t been launched.

Names for tehillim?
Because the donut eaters have nothing to fear. They are above the law. The askanim have cozyed up to the head brass of the NYPD.
Waste no time. Call for a large community protest (meaning thousands) in front of the police station. Spread the word via every form of social media, print and digital. Get the press there. Get anyone running for office there. Results will come soon afterward.
This is one way to keep down the crime rate numbers. This should not be allowed!!!!!!!
If the community finds this persons by ourselves, the police will not like what the community will do to that driver.
