A recent surveillance footage shows a 62-year-old Jewish man being attacked by a livery driver. The victim has now claimed that his attacker kept shouting "Allah" as he beat him in the middle of a road in Brooklyn, New York, on October 14. The elderly man, Lipa Schwartz, was on his way to the synagogue when 37-year-old Farrukh Afzal beat him until another Hasidic man came running to stop the attack.

Schwartz told ABC7 Eyewitness News: "All of a sudden 'boom!' I tried to protect myself, run away. I fell. He come again on me." He also told Boro Park 24 in an exclusive interview "In that instant I saw death for my eyes" but that he finally felt that he should "fight back and wrestle myself out of this attack".
