"I thought the window of the subway fell on me. We tussled a bit, I was trying to hold him on the train, and then the doors closed, and they opened the doors again, and he ran off ... it's horrible because it happened on Purim, you know, right before the holiday."
"I still want justice, but I do forgive the man ... They keep coming for us. We still keep living, so we're not going to stop."
"F-k Jews, the suspect, described as a Black man in his 40s, allegedly said to her before striking the blow, the New York Daily News reported, citing local law enforcement."
The NYPD is investigating an antisemitic assault on Jeremy Garrett, a Jewish commuter attacked on the subway while reading a psalm. The assailant struck him on the head, knocking off his kippah before fleeing when train doors reopened. Garrett received hospital treatment and expressed forgiveness despite seeking justice. This incident reflects a broader pattern of antisemitic violence in New York City, including a January subway assault on a woman wearing an antisemitism awareness hat and a recent incident involving a student calling for violence against Jewish people. Antisemitic hate crimes in the city have increased dramatically in recent years.
