Hate continued to trouble the Jewish community in Williamsburg on Sunday night as two Chasidim were struck by BB pellets fired from a passing vehicle on Whyte Avenue.
Despite enhanced police presence in the area, two victims were walking on Whyte Avenue near South 10 Street when a black SUV pulled up and an assailant fired a BB gun at them. No words were exchanged between the aggressor and victims prior to the attack.

The NYPD’s 90th Precinct is at the scene of the crime and WSPU units are canvassing the area in search of security camera footage of the incident to assist detectives in their investigation.
