Apr 27, 2026·1 min read

Three Yidden were attacked in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood by a man reportedly wearing a shirt displaying the Iranian flag, according to a report by the New York Post.

The incident occurred Friday evening, shortly before the onset of Shabbos, and involved victims ages 48, 38, and 21.

Authorities identified the suspect as Andrzej Wnuk, 41, who is accused of punching the victims in the upper body, including the head and face, while yelling “[Curse] Jews.”

Emergency responders from Hatzalah provided medical treatment to those injured at the scene. Wnuk was subsequently taken into custody and later arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal Court, where he faces charges of assault and committing a hate crime. Bail was set at $5,000, and he remains in custody.
