The manager of a Jewish bookstore on the Upper West Side of Manhattan was beaten up Monday afternoon by a self-declared Muslim man who threatened to kill him, New York Police Department officials told Jewish politics blog JP Updates. Brooklyn native Salmon Salczer, 52, was inside West Side Judaica, when he saw a man pacing outside and peering into the stores window. When Salczer approached the man to see what he wanted, the suspect punched him in the face repeatedly, while yelling, F*** you Jews. Ill kill you; Im a Muslim.Â
According to JP Updates, Salczer said he feared the attacker would strike him with a metal razer scooter he was holding. The suspect is believed to have later used the scooter to flee the scene. According to police, he is still on the loose.
Salczer called authorities and filed a police report. Detectives from the NYPDs Hate Crimes Task Force are now investigating the incident as a hate crime.
Authorities described the suspect as a 510Â dark-skinned male in his 20s. He was wearing a red jacket and blue jeans at the time of the assault.
In a statement to the press, Councilman Mark Levine, chairman of the NYC Jewish Caucus, said the incident serves as a stark reminder that no neighborhood in New York City is immune from the mounting threat of antisemitic attacks. He said Mondays attack and every other hate crime must be denounced in the strongest terms.Â
NYC Councilwoman Helen Rosenthal said in a statement: While it is rare for the UWS to experience hate crimes, we must be vigilant at all times. I want to thank our 24th precinct for their rapid response¦ Antisemitic attacks †or any other hate crime †must be stopped.Â
Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to call the NYPDs Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS or submit their tips at the Crime Stoppers website.
And yet we are letting Obama keep importing his Moslem comrades More and more every day
MSM Headline:
Man who yelled “F*** you Jews. Ill kill you; Im a Muslim” attacks bookseller in isolated incident which had nothing to do with Islam.
This is Obama’s New Normal.
Get used to it, because there is much more coming.
Another Obama community organizer from Tammany Hall.
Thats why we have a 2nd amendment.
And thats why the community organizers want “gun control.”
It will get worse before it gets better. What with the Obama (Muzzie lover) regime and Marxist DeBlasio, all Jews in NYC are in jeopardy and must be en garde. It will get better when there is a President Trump to contend with these attacks against Jews. Trump, being a tough New Yorker himself, will know how to deal with DeBlasio.
Yes. Obama is turning USA into a giant Syria. Get prepared
That is the reason: they hate Jews most of all.
GIGO (Garbage in garbage out) typical outcome based "Science"!
ping
And apparently Donald Trump would very diplomatically not take sides in this and ask the two to sit down and discuss it.
He’s a footsoldier to the White House, MSM, DemoncRATS, the left, etc...why “attack” one of your own?
They found Silver guilty on all counts the other day, and he is singing like a song bird....and in the New York news today they were saying Cuomo is next and you know he won't keep quite, so DeBlasio is soon to be dealt with...
But you have to remember the Jewish people have mostly always voted for a Democrat, so some of the way they are treated is kinda their fault....but then on the other hand, you couldn't get a Republican voted anywhere in New York so I can see the Jewish Point also...
The San Bernardino killer’s first target was his Orthodox Jew team leader in the Environmental Dept. of the city government.
You could not be more wrong. Trump has strongly supported Israel.
Obama is flooding the country with any non white, third world people he can get here. This includes Muslim terrorists. Obama is trying to destroy Western Civilization here, and around the world. He wants Israel turned into a pasture. Our only hope is mass deportation, including any and all Muslim refugees. Anything shy of this, and our country and culture are finished. Pretend what I say is wrong, but you will indeed have to pretend.
Trump’s daughter is Jewish.
Oblama would call this another work place incident
Trump has been critical of Muslims, not Jews.
That's funny she doesn't look Jewish..... Joking. I know she converted and her husband is Orthodox Jewish. So is Chelsea Clinton's husband. Ivanka and Chelsea are friends
