The NYPD is hunting for two Jewish men who tear-gassed and beat a young black man in Brooklyn, police sources said.
The 20-year-old victim, a son of an NYPD officer, was walking south on Albany Ave., Crown Heights, about 6:15 p.m. Monday when a white assailant on a bike sprayed him with tear gas, sources said. A GMC Envoy then pulled up and another young white man jumped out and hit the victim twice in the back with a nightstick.
Community
sources said the SUV driver was a volunteer with the Crown Heights
Shmira, a Hasidic anti-crime neighborhood patrol, but was not on duty
at the time. Police located the SUV, with its front license plate
removed, based on witness reports and were seeking its driver last
night.
The victim, identified by sources as Andrew Charles, was treated at Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center and released.
