5 Jewish Men Got Stabbed, Near Forshay Shul In Monsey

oh [Music] all right about 25 miles northwest of new york city it happened just before 10 o'clock on four shea road there is video circulating on social media a large emergency response in that area right now it is unclear how many people have been injured or the severity of those injuries but we're hearing is multiple people as many as four or five people who have been injured it is unclear at this point i think it will also be helpful especially in the city specifically in brooklyn if they release a list of incidents and the consequences as of now all we hear the stories of another specific person being beaten another orthodox jew being hit in the head we don't know of consequences yet i mean the latest story that we heard was someone who slapped three orthodox jewish woman a couple of days ago and she was released without bail that's certainly the case with me i was in brooklyn last week sunday night and monday night for hanukkah celebration so certainly a community where people travel a lot and mingle a lot and meet a lot and usually people do know victims you know firsthand secondhand cousins family and so forth an incident like this a scene like this uh orange county and that's certainly the case with me i was in brooklyn last week sunday night and monday night for hanukkah celebrations so certainly a community where people travel a lot and mingle a lot and meet a lot and usually people um do know victims you know firsthand secondhand cousins family and so forth an incident like this a scene like this a a saturday night a a a holiday actually a celebration um it just really has to have such a a an effect on the community are people frightened by this are they not feeling safe are they angry uh i wouldn't call it i think the sense i'm getting is that people are trying to become you know more an effect on the community are people frightened by this are they not feeling safe are they angry i wouldn't call it frightened i think the sense that i'm getting is that people are trying to become you know more resolved as to how to tackle this on a community basis and on individual basis and also as i said earlier in terms of law enforcement prosecutors um elected officials it's not just you know being at another press conference which is nice but it needs to be specific steps uh announced and specific steps taken as to to increase security and to have a swift response i think the chief of the police department is now on the scene that's support that people you know want to see and feel that you know what law enforcement takes it uh serious and then of course we need to move especially in brooklyn on getting a public list as to exactly how all these cases turn out just arresting someone that people getting released because this is the new law is not going to cut it there needs to be consequences within the confines of the law but people need to feel and understand that that this isn't a joke and i think that if you were to have a couple of stories where let's say the brooklyn district attorney was to announce specific steps and consequences that uh have been taken against perpetrators i think more and more people will understand that this isn't a joke and you know and going out there being on a jewel going to have more consequences than aside from there is and a new story and evening knows jose gets deadner
