New York Mayor Eric Adams Condemns Antisemitic Attacks: 'An Attack On Our Jewish Community Is An Attack On Every New Yorker'

A weekend of antisemitic attacks in New York drew condemnation from Mayor Eric Adams on Sunday, who promised those responsible would be held accountable.

Police are looking for suspects who targeted Jews in Brooklyn’s Flatbush neighborhood on Friday night.

Video footage from the scene Friday showed a suspect attacking a Jewish victim near East 32nd street, slapping him before laughing and running back into a van.

The van’s driver was reportedly filming the incident, according to CBS News New York.

Mayor Eric Adams denounced the assault on Twitter, and said that “an attack on our Jewish community is an attack on every New Yorker. We will catch the perpetrators of this assault.”
