Video Shows Attack On Bed-Stuy Synagogue, Police Say

BEDFORD-STUYVESANT, BROOKLYN — Police released video of kids throwing a pipe through a Bed-Stuy synagogue window then knocking a hat, similar to those worn in the Orthodox Jewish community, off a 14-year-old boy.

Video shows the metal pole smashing 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.

As police continued to investigate, they uncovered video of the same group sneaking up behind a 14-year-old boy and knocking the hat off his head.

The kids also shoved a 10-year-old girl to the ground when they ran away toward Willoughby Avenue, police said.

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.
