Sources informed Yeshiva World News that Boro Park Shomrim received urgent calls about a white sedan making two attempts to hit Yeshiva Bochurim and a rabbi outside the Vien Yeshiva in the Canarsie neighborhood.
Surveillance video shows the suspect attempting to run over the Bochurim but failing. The footage then shows the driver circling the block and returning to the Yeshiva, where he is seen driving up the curb and onto school property.
Police reported no injuries and said the driver was taken into custody shortly after being located. The suspect’s name and further details have not been released.
The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force is aware of the incident, and the investigation is being led by the NYPD, according to Fox News Digital.
The NYPD did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
This incident occurs amid increasing protests on college campuses across the country related to the Israel-Hamas war, along with growing reports of harassment and antisemitism towards students.
Earlier this month, the U.S. House passed the Antisemitism Awareness Act, which aims to address antisemitism on college campuses and expand the legal definition of antisemitism used to enforce anti-discrimination laws.
