A potentially dangerous incident unfolded Wednesday at 770 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, NY, when a man allegedly carrying both a knife and a baseball bat entered the famed Lubavitch headquarters before being confronted by bystanders, who forced him from the building and held him until police arrived.

Witnesses said the suspect walked into the shul armed with the two weapons, triggering an immediate response from those inside. Several individuals quickly confronted the man, chased him out of the building, and restrained him outside as they waited for law enforcement.

Officers from the NYPD responded to the scene and took the suspect into custody without any further confrontation.

The incident has once again raised concerns among members of the Crown Heights community over security at 770.

“Another day, another miracle in 770,” one witness said after the arrest. “The sad truth is, until someone is killed R”L in 770 by a deranged man or a terrorist, nothing will change.”

Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident. No injuries were reported.
