(JNS) A 16-year-old teenager turned himself in to the New York Police Department last week in connection to a series of attacks on Jewish men in Borough Park.
The teen was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated harassment, according to PIX 11. A spokesperson for the NYPD would not identify which incident the arrest was related to.
Police said last week that the NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force was investigating the string of recent attacks in Brooklyn. Three Jewish people were assaulted in Borough Park on Friday night, November 1, with an additional incident occurring the following night in the same neighborhood, the NYPD confirmed.
Most recently, on Saturday night, a group of youths egged a synagogue, a Jewish girls school, a bus and multiple residences in Borough Park.
