5h agoPolice shared video surveillance with News 12 showing two
individuals they say committed a hate crime at a gas station on Avenue U and Mill
Avenue in Brooklyn.
It was reported to police that on Oct. 20, a 17-year-old was
approached by the two men in a burgundy colored Ford van.
The first man proceeded to say anti-gay and anti-Jewish
slurs at him from inside the van, according to police. The second man escalated
the situation, as he exited the vehicle and displayed a knife to the victim
while making additional threats, before the two individuals fled in their van
north on Mill Avenue, police say.
The investigation remains ongoing by NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force.
