Yacov (in front of whose home this occurred) gives BJL a first-hand 'blow-by-blow' description of exactly what occurred

Baltimore, MD – Nov. 8, 2023 – 7:47PM – (BJL) It was a chaotic scene indeed. Here's what unfolded: a guy and his girlfriend began shouting 'Free Palestine' on the corner, leading people to gather around and chant 'Am Yisrael Chai.' Tensions rose, and one of the guys started recording her up close. She responded with 'You can't film me without my permission' and struck him in the face, causing him to bleed from his eye. We called Hatzalah, and they are transporting him to Sinai Hospital because his eye was cut up pretty badly. I believe the guy was only doing it for TikTok. I hope they both get arrested for assault.

My understanding is that because the police didn't witness the actual incident, he – who was taking the “hit” for his girlfriend - was issued a citation for 2nd-degree assault. The young man's mother deescalated the situation by talking to my wife. They discussed how the Jewish and African American communities need to come together, have respectful discussions, and work together to avoid causing more tension. Eventually, they ended up hugging, realizing that everyone has their own opinions about the war, but it's essential to discuss them respectfully and come together as a community."
