In a disturbing incident last night, a group of approximately 20 individuals assaulted multiple Jewish teenagers near Beach 133rd at around midnight. The attackers specifically targeted the victims after noticing one of them wearing a Magen David necklace, a symbol of their Jewish identity.
During the attack, the assailants hurled antisemitic slurs at the victims, intensifying the gravity of the assault. Tragically, one of the Jewish teenagers suffered a head injury from a glass bottle and had to be transported to the hospital for treatment.
Law enforcement agencies, including the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force, Rockaway Nassau Safety Patrol, and the local NYPD Precinct, are actively investigating the incident as a hate crime. They aim to bring the perpetrators to justice and ensure the safety of the community.
The large group of thugs are described as Caucasian male teenagers. The assault took place on the boardwalk by Beach 133rd. Authorities are urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward and assist in the investigation by contacting the police or RNSP.

Any Anti Semitic attack is a tragedy and should be investigated and prosecuted. FYI there is no Boardwalk at Beach 133 street, the Boardwalk ends at 126 street.
This is New York
NYC is the only city in the world where its beach areas are full of lower class trash. Any other state or country in the world the cities pride themselves With the upper class elite having homes or condos on The beach . As soon as you go into Nassau county that changes as the south shore of Long Island beginning with the five towns becomes part of that upper class elite and further out in the Hamptons it’s the top of society that have homes there .
Places, like these, please avoid it ! Their July 4, they got drunk, or who know what ! Not a place for Jewish Youth 🙏
My hometown and a son of a dear old friend of mine. Blood is boiling.
