Embedded video.

The suspect approached the Jewish man and threw an unidentified liquid at him before allegedly punching him in the face.

But this time, the attacker encountered someone willing to fight back.

Video footage of the confrontation shows the Hasidic man physically defending himself as the altercation unfolds, he throws a few punches and kicks until others eventually came to his assistance.

The assailant appeared to be wearing a long, loose-fitting garment resembling traditional Muslim attire. As the fight escalated, he appeared to hike up the garment and get into fight stance.

Wrong neighborhood to FAFO in.

Looks to me like the cop didn’t intervene until the Muslim started losing the fight…

The cop probably saved his life. The Muslim would have been hospitalized or dead in a few minutes. The whole neighborhood would have been stomping him into gorilla cookies. Satmars don’t take no sh!t.

Or at least some fighting instructions. That a@@-hole was in a perfect position for a knee to the face, but instead the old guy kept giving him girly smacks to the back of the head. Way to lose an advantage. But he was pretty feisty.
