A 29-year-old Belz hassidic-religious Jew, who ran a store
named Yossi's Wine and Liquor on 18th Avenue in the Jewish neighborhood of
Borough Park, Brooklyn, was stabbed on Tuesday night in the course of a robbery
at the store.
The stabber, who reportedly was a white male, possibly
Russian, roughly 6 feet (1.82 meters) tall and wore a long black jacket, fled
the scene and is being searched for by police and Borough Park Shomrim.
Meanwhile, the victim was evacuated to the Lutheran Trauma
Center with a stab wound to the head, reports Yeshiva World News. His condition
was defined as light, and he reportedly was later released.
The stabbing is the most recent in a series of attacks on
Jews in Borough Park.
A month ago, a hareidi-religious 70-year-old Jew was cruelly
beaten by two locals in the neighborhood, on the corner of 11th Avenue and 51st
Street.
The attackers stepped out of their Toyota Camry car to beat
the man for no apparent reason. After the man called out for help and people
started approaching, the attackers fled in their car.
Meanwhile the anti-Semitic attacks known as the
"knockout game," in which passersby who are generally visibly Jewish
are randomly attacked with no warning by groups of youth, have been plaguing
the Jewish neighborhoods of New York, including Borough Park.
