A man accused in a violent antisemitic attack in Brooklyn is heading to trial after rejecting a plea deal for allegedly punching a Jewish man in the face for wearing an Israeli military sweatshirt
Zadavsky was walking in Bay Ridge when a man later identified by police as Suleiman Othman, of Staten Island, demanded that he take off the pro-Israel hoodie. When Zavadksy refused, he was beaten, he said.Othman is charged with third-degree assault as a hate crime. Before Othman faced a judge in Brooklyn Wednesday morning, local Jewish leaders held a rally to condemn the rise in antisemitic attacks.
"People I talk to tell me they take their yarmulke off when they go into Manhattan. What in God’s name is going on?" asked New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind."There needs to be a war on hate, not BS talk!"NYC Councilmember Inna Vernikov, whose district is in Brooklyn, said at a rally that they were there to make sure the judge would not let Othman go free.
