A Brooklyn woman said she was left terrified after being chased and stoned by a mob of Orthodox Jewish men who mistook her for an anti-Israeli protestor.
The woman, who remained anonymous over fears for her safety, told the Associated Press she was afraid for her life when she was set upon by the mob on Thursday night near the global headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement.
The chaos unfolded after Israel's hardline security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir gave a speech at the headquarters, which was met with furious protests outside the building.
One other woman was reportedly left bloodied in the clashes outside alongside an anti-Israeli Orthodox Jewish man, who was seen in footage shared to social media being shoved to the ground by other Orthodox Jewish men.
Later in the evening, the woman who was chased by the mob said she was mistaken for one of the demonstrators as scenes on the Brooklyn street turned ugly.
She said she was unaware of the protests near her apartment in the Crown Heights neighborhood of the New York City borough until she heard police helicopters flying overhead.
After walking over to investigate at around 10:30pm, she said she covered her face with a scarf to avoid being filmed at the event, but the move sparked fury from the mob.
'As soon as I pulled up my scarf, a group of 100 men came over immediately and encircled me,' she said.

Recalling the terrifying moment the mob pounced on her, the woman said: 'They were shouting at me, threatening to rape me, chanting ‘death to Arabs.'

Why wasn’t she arrested for inciting a riot - this is the UK you know .../sarc
anti-Israeli protesters cause problems for everyone. even those who have nothing to do with it.
I’m sorry … but this is hilarious. LMAO.
I call complete and utter BULLSHIT on this story.
You can't tell that from the headline.
She’s been (ortho)doxxed!
Sorry, but her story does not pass the smell test.
This smells like a fake story.
why is she wearing a mask ?
I seriously doubt orthodox Jews were threatening to rape her.
That was a dead giveaway that this story is trash.
I seriously doubt orthodox Jews were doing any of it.....at least not the way it’s being reported.
Agreed. Muhammad taught them to taqiyya, to lie for the cause of Islam. That’s because Muhammad himself was a big lie.
The more damning question is why did she make the point of bringing a bandana that could be used as a mask. She's dressed in denim. Is that the sort of outfit that cries out for a scarf to complete the ensemble?
(and that isn't a very chic scarf, I must say)
Somewhat ironic, as Chabad-Lubavitch is traditionally non-Zionist and frequently hosts anti-religious Jews to encourage awareness of their Jewishness. This event in particular was a ‘siyum’ - a kind of dinner party to note the completion of some particular Torah study.
It may be British media but this was in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Anonymous woman told AP=bull$hit!
Hasids are not normally very Zionist.
I call BS.
Here is video of the woman in a scary situation.

I’m suspicious as well.
Don’t want to be taken for a muslim, don’t dress like one.
