Some leaders in Brooklyn’s Jewish community say bias attacks are happening more frequently.
The most recent incident left a man badly bruised. It was captured on camera and now police are searching for the attacker.
Police are keeping watch at the scene of the latest attack on Rutland Road near Schenectady Avenue.
Many Jewish leaders say this is happening too frequently to be a coincidence, CBS2’s Janelle Burrell reported.
“People are very, very nervous about what is going on,” said Assemblyman Dov Hikind.
Jewish leaders including Hikind told Burrell they believe the recent attacks in Brooklyn aren’t isolated.
“They’re not anomalies?” Burrell asked.
“No, not at all. In between these two incidents, there are so many others. Many of them don’t get reported,” Hikind said.
The latest victim is a 52-year-old orthodox Jewish man who asked that CBS2 not share his name.
Police are looking for the man who went after him Saturday afternoon as he was walking home from synagogue.
