A man was arrested Thursday and charged with a hate crime for allegedly slapping a Hasidic man who was walking in Williamsburg, cops said.
Carrington Maddox, 31, was charged with aggravated harassment as a hate crime and menacing for attacking a 27-year-old man dressed in traditional garb on Monday, according to police.
The victim was approached by a stranger who randomly slapped him on the left side of the face in front of 144 Lynch St. around 4:30 p.m. – the third suspected anti-Semitic attack in Brooklyn in two days, according to cops.
Maddox was arrested from a tip to the NYPD’s CrimeStoppers hotline, police said.
The attack came a day after two other disturbing assaults occurred against Jewish men in the neighborhood, cops said.
The pair of assaults happened within minutes of each other just after 6 a.m. Sunday, police said.
The Police Department’s Hate Crime Task Force is probing them, as well.
Surveillance video of the first incident shows an attacker blasting a 72-year-old man dressed in traditional Hasidic garb with the white spray of a fire extinguisher on Taylor Street and Lee Avenue.

Another white supremist disguised as a black.
So it would be totally fine if he “slapped” a Christian?
They wouldn’t have pursued hate crime charges if it was just a non-Jewish white man, you can be sure of that.
Should be arrested for assault but hate crime laws are stupid.
he identifies as white
I don’t agree with hate crime laws myself, but if you’re going to have them, they need to be enforced equally or not at all. As it stands now it’s only pursued when the victim is of a protected minority, never when the victim is white.
That’s by design. Hate crimes laws are utter bullshit.
