New York City Police Department (NYPD) spokespeople confirmed Sunday that a 17- and 18-year-old pair of victims were assaulted on Ocean Avenue near Albemarle Road late Saturday, in between the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Midwood and Borough Park.
Several local lawmakers in the Orthodox and Hasidic Jewish communities relayed the victims statements in which they described the attackers demanding them to chant phrases such as free Palestine before the assault. Former New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind tweeted that the two teens were saved by a Muslim Uber driver who drove them to safety after coming upon the scene of the attack.
