time to put an end to the tide of robberies and attacks on young children in
the Flushing corridor,” said Rabbi David Niederman. “No child should live in
fear, and no community can tolerate these attacks. These incidents are the
results of a few, and we hope that they will be caught and prosecuted to the
fullest extent of the law.
"We
are grateful that the NYPD has made strides in this case culminating in the
release of a photo of a suspect, which will hopefully to the apprehension of
the suspect. I also want to thank the community for working with the police in
locating and handing over this video footage. We urge anyone with information
