Police have arrested a suspect in connection with a shocking antisemitic attack that took place this past Friday in a park in Montreal, Canada, in which a 32-year-old Jewish man was brutally assaulted in front of his two young children.
Video of the incident shows the attacker punching and kicking the victim as his daughter screams in terror. The victim sustained injuries that police described as non-life-threatening.
Authorities announced the arrest on Monday, saying the suspect, a 24-year-old male, was taken into custody without incident. No further details about the suspect’s identity have been released pending formal charges.
Police have not yet confirmed whether the attack will be prosecuted as a hate crime.

TYW posted the video with sensitivity. The actual beating that was recorded and available elsewhere shows the true vicious and brutal nature of this attack. It’s a Chessed the victim “escaped” alive.
Im sorry to see these things happen but Why doesn’t the Yid fight back? I see this time and time again in these incidents. He’s only up against one guy. He looks like a little scared kid in front of his daughter. If it was me I would defend myself so well that I would make the guy regret he ever started up with me. And no I dont know martial arts or the like. Just a natural reaction if someone messes with me.
he appears to belong to a “protected” demographic, so it’s unlikely that he’ll be held accountable for his actions, let alone the blatant antisemitism that motivated him. which practically guarantees that there will be more attacks like this.
Yemach Shemo Vzichro, may he have a missah Meshuneh Bmheira Byameinu
YaakovDee: Give our brother the benefit of the doubt. For all we know, he was dry-gulched by the mutant and fell into the non-defensive position shown in the video.
@YaakovDee – Maybe it’s a good thing he did not fight back, because if he had, the Canadian Prime Minister would have accused him of genocide.
But sarcasm aside, it’s easy to talk tough, but you don’t see the start of the attack in the video. Maybe he was caught off-guard. The info about his injuries doesn’t mention any head-trauma but he seems dazed as he gets up – he could have been concussed or at least stunned from the initial punch.
Uber-liberal cities like victims. If you fight back, you’re the miscreant.
Carry bear spray or a ‘fish knocker’ both available on Amazon. It will turn the tables.
You cannot second guess the fellow because he had to keep the monster focused on Tatie. With Tatie absorbing punishment, the monster is less likely to go after the children. This subhuman individual could have murdered children Ch’v as a reprisal for Tatie responding violently.
He’s an angel.
An angel of judgement.
Something needs to change inside of each of us if we want this to go away
Our Rabbi Zev Eisenstein of blessed memory used to tell this story about how when he was a kid in cheyder The Bronx, in the 50’s all the boys of childhood innocence would say “…if I have been in the holocaust I would’ve fought back …I would have this …I would’ve that…”
Trying to say you can never judge someone who has been in such a victimized position
And their melamed who was a survivor of the camps wisely with patience would say “…no you wouldn’t…we couldn’t…”
according to the canadian jewish news:
“Montreal police (SPVM) have arrested a 24-year-old male in connection with the filmed beating of a Jewish man in front of his three children in a park last Friday afternoon.
Sergio Yanes Preciado was charged with assault causing bodily harm at the Montreal courthouse Aug. 12. The suspect has no criminal record and is reportedly a student at Cégep Saint-Laurent.”
none,
Are you claiming this victim or any victim deserved to be assaulted by an anti-Semite?
