In yet another left wing, Pro-Hamas inspired attack, a Brooklyn man named Joshua Merenfeld was hit from behind, had his phone stolen, and was on the receiving end of anti-Semitic slurs and threats. As long as Democrats and the media excuse hate crimes against Jews, things like this will only get worse.
A Jewish man is recovering Friday after being attacked, punched and robbed in the front yard of his Crown Heights residence by an attacker who spewed antisemitic profanities at him on the first night of Hanukkah.
Joshua Merenfeld, 40, told NBC New York he was standing outside of his building when a man walked up behind him, punched him, pushed him over, kicked him and then took his phone.
“It was a real beating,” Merenfeld said. “It wasn’t just one punch and left, it took quite a while. At least a minute of punches which is a long time for punches.”
The man who attacked Merenfeld “used a bunch of antisemitic terminology and profanities,” he said.
“Definitely doesn’t feel good to have this happen in your own front yard,” Merenfeld said.
Merenfeld said he has boot prints all over his jacket where he was repeatedly stomped. He has a visible wound on the left side of his face. Police said he was taken to Mount Sinai Beth Israel for treatment.
“It’s a little blurry, but that’s because of the swelling,” he said. “The doctor told me that my eye is fine and it’s going to be fine.”
