A Frum Lakewood resident returning home last night was frightened upon discovering an arrow shot through his front door.
The metal arrow ripped through the door and got stuck midway.
The resident tells TLS there was nobody home at the time of the incident, which they believe happened around 7:00 PM. They immediately phoned police upon discovering it, around 10:30 PM.
“Further investigation determined that it was most likely fired from a crossbow,” police said.
Lakewood’s Detective Bureau is investigating the incident.
That’s a carbon fiber arrow with a broad head. Would’ve been shot from a compound bow if used correctly.
Might have been a kid who doesn’t know bow safety.
A frum kid on the street after dark shooting a deadly weapon? G-d help us if that is anywhere near true.
Thanks for saving me the typing. Apparently the Lkwd police aren’t aware of compound bows.
When asked whether antisemitic attacks against Jews will continue to skyrocket in the US and around the globe, one Jewish resident of Lakewood told reporters on Tuesday: “I think so; the arrow is definitely pointing in that direction.”
When asked whether banning firearms in public would help tamp down violence in Lakewood, the Jewish fellow said: “A firearm ban won’t help because criminals have other options; they’ve got more than one arrow in the quiver.”
Why do you assume it was a Frum kid?
You’re right …I shouldn’t have assumed that the 1st commenter was supposing that a “frum” kid might have done it. But any assumption that a “kid” might be the culprit is, I think, probably unlikely.
CORRECTION: It was from a driving van hope the kid is not driving a van while shooting an arrow
wow!! the MEZUZAH for sure saved the day!!
Very scary. I hope they catch the person who did this. Someone could have gotten seriously hurt – or worse.
The Indians did it! Lakewood was built on ancient Piscataway land & they are coming to get it back.
lol, your saying this as a joke, but let me let you know, these days your comment is considered extremely insensitive, promoting barbaric stereotypes to “natives”.
That was no kid who did that, it was done by an adult
we are in galus! this is just a reminder!
Who ever did this is going to be caught
