An arrest has been made in the vicious beating of Crown Heights askan Yossi Hershkop, who was assaulted in front of his five-year-old child two weeks ago.

The thugs had claimed that Hershkop bumped a car behind him as he was attempting to park. As a result, they began following him as he searched for another parking spot and then confronted him by blocking his car and then attacking him – with his son still inside the car.

Footage of the assault was captured by a security camera. Now, the NYPD has made arrest over the incident.

One unnamed suspect was taken into custody at approximately 9 pm on Thursday at his home in Brooklyn.

Just a day earlier, Hershkop expressed his frustration over there having been no arrests in the case.

“I was attacked 2 weeks ago,” he wrote on Twitter. “No arrests have been made, despite the assailants’ vehicle having been seen all over the neighborhood. My son still has a lot of trauma from the incident & we now Uber instead of walk whenever we need to go out. How many others live in fear in NYC?!”

Breaking! One under arrest in the brutal assault of @yossy770. Great work by our Volunteers in collaboration with the @NYPD71Pct Detectives. #ItsWhatWeDo
