Orthodox Jewish Man Almost Lynched at Pro-Israel NYC Rally

After a protest of pro-Palestinian supporters and a counter-protest of Israel supporters clashed in Midtown Manhattan, a Jewish man was beaten, chased and took refuge in a store, which helped him by locking the door on the angry mob. Tensions over the dire situation in Israel are inciting online aggression and threats, but this attack is the first physical escalation in the United States as a result. This Jewish man was hit on the head with a metal chair and walked by police into a store for safety, until he could be transported to the hospital. The man supposedly showed his magen david necklace to cameras outside the store window while he was protected there. Read more and see footage here.
