Disturbing new surveillance video released by police shows a man in traditional Jewish garb being shot with a possible BB gun in Brooklyn.
The 23-year-old victim was walking at Albany Avenue and Montgomery Street in Crown Heights around 10:30 p.m. Oct. 11 when three men pulled up inside a dark Hyundai Sonata with silver wheels, cops said.
As the victim attempted to cross the street, the Hyundai driver turned the corner and someone inside fired an “unknown projectile” — believed to be a round from a BB gun — at him, according to the video released early Thursday, and authorities.
The clip shows the victim falling to the pavement and holding his head, as the car passes.
The victim suffered a laceration on the left side of his head, and was taken to New York Presbyterian-Brooklyn Methodist Hospital in stable condition.
No anti-Semitic statements were made during the incident, but the NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating, cops said.
