Flatbvush – An elderly Jewish man was robbed and assaulted while waiting for his ride to take him to Shul on Monday morning.
The assault occurred in the area of East 14 Street and Avenue J at around 6:30AM. Flatbush Shomrim was at the scene at the Shul on Ave M & East 18 where the victim was taken, and coordinated the scene with Hatzolah, and the NYPD.
The man was repeatedly struck in the face and head with a metal pole, and his money was taken.
He was transported by Flatbush Hatzolah to a local hospital with facial injuries.
There were no anti-Semitic words exchanged, and the NYPD and Shomrim are obtaining security camera footage.

Can’t know for sure, but likely a hate crime. With all the best intentions, and the placating statements from local officials, i am skeptical that it hasa become open season on minorities, mostly Jews. And law enforcement will have little impact due to bail reform laws.
I propose that we bring back the JDL. Perhaps empower Shomrim or Shmira to do this job. These vigilantes will have all the freedom they want to beat the perpetrators to their last breath. They are not afraid of cops or judges. But they should fear the personal pain they will get from street justice.
PLEASE DO NOT STOP VOTING DEMOCRAT
thats on ave M and E 18, not Ave J
Color of perps?

Nice – a non-sectarian smash-and-grab.
