A woman in Brooklyn is taking legal action against the city after being attacked by a group of men during a protest in April. She was not part of the demonstration but approached the area due to noise from helicopters. After seeking help from police, who did not intervene until after the attack, she suffered physical and emotional trauma. Her attorney is filing a claim for $1.25 million, citing pain, suffering, and violation of her First Amendment rights. The NYPD is currently investigating the incident with help from Crime Stoppers.
On April 24, dueling groups of protesters gathered in Crown Heights as Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir made an appearance at Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters. The woman said she was not part of the demonstrations, but she walked over to the area because she heard helicopters over her apartment and people yelling.
Despite seeking assistance from officers, she says police only fully intervened after she was attacked and failed to make any arrests.
The woman's attorney filed a personal injury claim against the city seeking $1.25 million for physical and emotional pain and suffering, as well as violation of First Amendment rights.
The NYPD says its Hate Crime Task Force unit is still investigating the incident, and Crime Stoppers is offering up to $3,500 for information leading to an arrest.
