A TLS reader reports that at approximately 2:50 a.m., a speeding vehicle collided with a minivan at the intersection of Sanz Town and Hillside in Westgate.
The reader further reports that a pedestrian eyewitness at the scene said the black vehicle had allegedly been following him and shouting antisemitic slurs shortly before the crash. The eyewitness also reportedly said the vehicle followed him around the block and drove the wrong way down Sanz Town Road.
The reader says that following the crash, he and a friend heard the loud impact from an apartment and saw two individuals running from the scene toward the high school behind Westgate. The individuals were described as appearing to be dressed in black, possibly wearing white sneakers.
The reader also reports that while police were questioning one of the drivers, they asked where the other individuals had gone, but the driver allegedly did not provide an answer.
It’s a shame, it’s probably a combination of boredom and not understanding our community.
There is a story of a rabbi whose car broke down in a rough section of Brooklyn. Another Jewish fellow passed by and said he’d call a tow truck. Meanwhile, a group of fellows started gathering and eyeing his car. Then, a tall, broad-shouldered fellow came over and said ‘I’ll protect you rabbi’, and explained that he works for a Jewish caterer and that they treat him respectfully and let him take home extra food etc.
