A Jewish deli in Chicago sustained a smashed window in an attack Tuesday that is being investigated by local detectives.
The incident at Manny’s Deli in the 1000 block of S. Jefferson St. on Chicago’s Near West Side occurred at around 3:00 a.m. Police reported that there were no injuries and no one was injured in the attack.
The deli posted photos of the smashed window on X and expressed gratitude that no one was hurt.

“Most importantly: we are ok, nobody was hurt,” the statement said. “Someone tried to break in, thankfully we had staff on site and the individual ran off. We will be open at our normal time today just with some wood boarding up the window.”
Chicago Jewish Alliance commented on the attack on X, saying Jewish businesses should not have to live with the constant fear of attack.

“Manny’s Deli had its windows smashed tonight,” the Jewish advocacy group posted. “Thank God the staff is safe.”
“But let’s be clear: Jewish businesses should not have to wonder whether they are next,” the statement continued. “Not in Chicago. Not in America.”
“We are grateful to law enforcement for responding, and we stand with Manny’s, its staff, and every Jewish business owner who deserves to work, serve, and live without fear,” the group added. “An attack on a Jewish institution is an attack on the whole community.”
