Teens Hurl Pipe At Bed-Stuy Jewish Community Center Window: Cops

BEDFORD-STUYVESANT, BROOKLYN -- A group of teenagers hurled a metal pipe through the window of a Jewish community center Saturday evening, adding to a spate of anti-semitic hate crimes to hit Brooklyn, according to police.

The metal pole smashed through a glass window at the Jewish community center on the corner of Franklin and Myrtle avenues at about 5:45 p.m. on Nov. 3, police said.

A rabbi came rushing out of the building and saw at least four teens running away southbound on Franklin Avenue, said police.

The attack occurred as congregants inside observed the Sabbath, one man told the New York Post.

“People were praying inside at the time,” said the man, who refused to give his name. “Everyone is upset already. So, this we don’t need this now.”

This is just one of several anti-Semitic attacks to occur in Brooklyn in the week following the massacre of 11 people in a Pittsburgh synagogue.

Brooklyn man James Polite was arrested Saturday for writing "Die Jew Rats" in a historic Prospect Heights temple hours before Broad City star Ilana Glazer was slated to host a political event and for setting fires near Williamsburg temples.

And police are currently looking for two teens who drew swastikas on a Brooklyn Heights block the night before Halloween.
