New York police said an attack on a Jewish man based on the so-called knockout game is being investigated as a possible hate crime.

The 24-year-old victim, who was wearing a yarmulke, told police he was walking home around 2:35 a.m. Friday in Brooklyn when he heard four men behind him talking about "knockout" -- a relatively recent phenomenon involving random attacks on strangers for attempted knockouts, the New York Post reported.

The victim said the men's conversation culminated in one of them punching him in the face, knocking him to the ground but not knocking him out.

The young man was able to flag down police officers, who arrested the four men.

Police said the Hate Crime Task Force is investigating...

How about getting the "Crime Task Force" (aka THE NYC POLICE DEPARTMENT!!) to investigate it?!

relatively recent phenomenon

Better than "new," but will still take a while to get to "we've been ignoring it for years now." In a few years they can write, "Its been going on for years" and technically not be lying.

Sorry to let it slip, but these have been happening since the child Trayvon's shooter was found 'not guilty'. Hope I didn't 'pop' anyone's bubble out there is MSM land.

On my physician's board, there is an atheist Jew who claims that Orthodox men go around at night beating up black men with baseball bats for no reason.

Thus, the Jews "deserve" retaliation.

Now, I've NEVER heard that. And I would imagine it would make national news. But NYC is a big town, so maybe it's just a "local" story. Anyone in NYC know about this?

Put on your yarmulke, here comes Monica.

Batter Up!

Just imagine how they’d all cry like little babies if it were white guys who hit a black for no reason.

This double standard that the left practices is going to end up getting a lot of people killed.

Ask for sources.

It was happening before Trayvon came on the scene but seems thats a favorite excuse to “beat down a cracka” now...
