NEW YORK, USA (Worthy News) – Footage has emerged of a man dismounting from his bicycle to beat Jewish children in New York City, Worthy News learned Thursday.
The footage, shared by the local Williamsburg 365 News outlet, showed the assailant appearing to smack one of the children on the face, kicking him to the ground.
The man threw another child to the ground before repeatedly kicking him. The children fled, and the man returned to his bicycle, the video recording revealed.
The New York Police Department (NYPD) said an additional victim was not recorded in the video posted on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
The NYPD added that it received a “criminal complaint” about a bicyclist approaching a man and his son in the same area, who were also playing on the sidewalk.
“The suspect then pushed the victim to the ground, causing a minor laceration [to] his head,” said the NYPD. “The suspect fled southbound on Franklin Avenue. There are no arrests, and the investigation is ongoing.”
The incident highlighted a rising number of reported antisemitic incidents in New York and other U.S. states and cities since the October 7 Hamas attacks in Israel.
The killing of 1,200 people by Hamas and the abduction of hundreds triggered Israel’s war against Hamas, the government said.
