In the footage, a car can be seen pulled over to the side of a street, while three thugs brutally attack the driver with blows through the driver’s side window. After the assault, the thugs appear to enter a white vehicle that was blocking the victim’s vehicle from leaving the scene and driving off.
The horrific assault reportedly took place in front of the victim’s 5-year-old child. The victim was transported to the hospital following the beating and has been identified as Yossi Hershkop, who has been described by a Twitter user as a “Crown Heights leader.”
