Update: Man With Machete Looking For “Local Synagogue”

0



Following yesterday’s machete story in Far Rockaway, NYPD and Shomrim found the man and confirmed that he was carrying an empty sword sheath, trying to intimidate and scare.

Shomrim and Police took this situation very seriously, by chasing the man down until they ultimately caught up with him and searched him, early this morning. The NYPD 101st Precinct & local RNSP members are well aware of this individual and are keeping an extra close watch on him.

Out of an abundance of caution, local officials have allocated extra funding to several local Yeshivas to be used towards additional security, and we are very thankful for that.

As always, we thank our local law enforcement for their constant dedication on behalf of the community & for allowing residents to feel safe.

Footage of the man walking the streets of Far Rockaway can be seen below:
