(IsraelNN.com) Oriah Ohana, a 25-year-old Israeli rabbi from Kfar Chabad, was attacked by a group of Arab men in Brooklyn, New York City, Tuesday evening.

An 18-year-old Arab man grabbed the yarmulka (kippa) off Rabbi Ohana’s head at the 4th Avenue and 9th Street train station in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn, while his friends kicked and punched the victim and screamed "Allahu Akbar" .

Rabbi Ohana chased the man who grabbed the yarmulka. The attacker ran out of the subway station and was hit by a passing car.

The attacker’s friends then beat the rabbi, claiming he was the cause of their friend’s misfortune. They escaped before police arrived – abandoning their friend, whose broken legs precluded his escape.

Police of the NYPD’s 78th Precinct are investigating the attack. According to Vos is Neias – a NY-area based Jewish news site - Police arrested the man hit by the car and requested an ambulance, but are “trying to brush off the crime as just teenagers who don't know what 'Allahu Akbar' means.”

That Arabic declaration, meaning “Allah is great,” is often chanted by Muslims before or during terrorist attacks. It is also declared five times daily from muezzin as a call to prayer.

Park Slope is considered a safe and well-to-do neighborhood. It has become home to many Jews.

7. It must be true. It's posted on Jihad Watch

13. Oh - well - there you go!

2. Not all Arabs are bad. Remeber the guys who actually saved a group of Jewish students

from some white kids a few months back?

8. Those kids were Christian religious fanatics who were angered by the fact the victim was a Jew.

That's what I remembered of the case, although they could've just as easily been Neo-Nazis looking for a fight.

9. Prayers for all the victims in this story

14. Sorry, but I'm calling bullshit on this one.

There's nothing in the MSM New York newspapers on this - not even the Daily News or the NY Post. Given the rather large Jewish population in the NYC metro area, there should be a massive uproar all over the news media by now.

I did a search on the name "Oriah Ohana" and came up empty. Hell, it's not even in Google, except for the original source and a Muslim blog.

I need better independent corroborative sources, thank you.

15. Agreed.

I only get thar Fr**per site and the Vas is Neias (blog) site when I do a google search.
