Old Man Attacked, Helper Assaulted; Suspect Arrested by NYPD With the Help of Shomrim

A horrifying incident of unprovoked violence rocked the local community recently, but thanks to the immediate and coordinated efforts of Shomrim, the suspect was swiftly arrested.

The Shomrim hotline was flooded with frantic calls reporting an active assault. The incident began when an elderly individual was slowly crossing an intersection. An impatient driver, apparently frustrated by the elderly person’s pace, pulled up to the crosswalk and, without warning, violently shoved the individual to the ground.

A courageous witness, seeing the unprovoked assault, bravely intervened. In a further act of aggression, the assailant then turned on the Good Samaritan, chasing and assaulting them as well, before fleeing the scene in their vehicle.

Shomrim volunteers arrived on the scene within seconds. While some volunteers immediately began gathering crucial information and video footage from a witness’s dash camera, quickly obtaining a description of the car and even a license plate number, other volunteers fanned out across Boro Park.

The extensive search quickly bore fruit. A sharp-eyed Shomrim volunteer spotted the suspect’s vehicle and immediately alerted other responding volunteers. What followed was a precise and real-time tracking effort, with Shomrim volunteers closely following the car and providing continuous updates to the NYPD. The seamless coordination led to the arrest of the perpetrator by NYPD officers.

One of the victims required immediate medical attention and was transported to the hospital by Hatzolah.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the challenges our community faces, but also highlights the unwavering commitment of Shomrim to protect and serve. This rapid response and arrest send a clear message: acts of violence will not be tolerated in our community, and those who commit them will be brought to justice.
