A woman from Brooklyn filed a $1.25 million claim against the city, alleging NYPD officers ignored threats to her safety during an assault by a mob of Orthodox Jewish men. The incident occurred outside the Chabad-Lubavitch headquarters amidst a protest. Viral video captured the chaos, showing the woman being escorted to safety while a crowd hurled insults and threats. She was not part of the protest but was there to investigate noise. Her attorney argues that the police demonstrated bias against pro-Palestinian protesters, leading to disparate treatment by NYPD.
The incident reportedly took place in April outside the Chabad-Lubavitch headquarters in Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood, after a protest against Israeli security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
A viral video of the incident shows one NYPD officer escorting the woman to the safety of a police car as dozens of men and boys throw objects at her.
