A Hasidic man was attacked in Williamsburg on Friday night, and the NYPD are investigating the incident as a hate crime.
The incident occurred on Friday night at around 6:30PM, at the corner of Throop Street and Wallabout Avenue. The victim was on the corner talking to another man, as they walked home from Shul.
