WATCH: NY police call brutal attack on hasidic man ‘robbery,’ not ‘hate crime’

The New York City police are investigating a recent attack on a hasidic man in Brooklyn as an “attempted robbery,” instead of as a “hate crime,” raising the ire of some community members.

We are sickened by the brutal and unprovoked attack on an Orthodox man in Brooklyn in broad daylight.

We extend our best wishes to the victim and call for the swift apprehension of the perpetrators.pic.twitter.com/bZgbDsrRW0
