The two victims were walking to an afterschool Torah learning program when they were attacked by the gang at around 6 pm near the corner of Albany Avenue and Eastern Parkway.

Not a word was spoken, and there was no provocation before the boys were punched in the face multiple times.

Nevertheless, following the attack, the two boys continued on to their learning program; only when they reached their home did their father learn about the attack and contact the Shomrim civil patrol, which opened a probe and filed a police report.

But there was more.

Later the same night, Shomrim received reports about the same gang having harassed a Jewish husband and wife, and a Jewish woman walking alone, all in the same community.

Apparently, the teen gang realized that adults might be able to hit back: no physical assault was reported in either incident.
