In Crown Heights, a local woman faced a violent mob attack while protesting against a speaker invited by the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, which stirred significant backlash. During the protests, she was assaulted by Orthodox Jewish men and boys despite police presence, leaving her deeply shaken. Mayor Adams acknowledged the police's investigation into the incident while framing it as part of larger protest tensions. Chabad-Lubavitch's spokesman condemned the violence but the woman asserted that the mob was not a small dissenting faction, expressing fear for her safety in her own neighborhood.
The actions of the group of about 100 men and boys who mobbed me were not just those of a 'small breakaway group'. I am afraid to walk around my neighborhood now.
We condemn the crude language and violence of the small breakaway group of young people; such actions are entirely unacceptable and wholly antithetical to the Torah's values.
