Pro-Iran Man Charged With Antisemitic Assault in Brooklyn
According to sources, Wnuk punched one man in the back, another in the shoulder and a third in the side of the head while yelling “f–king Jews.” All three victims reported pain to their faces but declined medical treatment at the scene.
A 41-year-old man has been charged with a hate crime after allegedly attacking three Jewish men in Brooklyn while shouting antisemitic slurs, according to police and court records.
The suspect, identified as Andrzej Wnuk, allegedly assaulted the victims near Throop Avenue and Gerry Street in Williamsburg on Friday evening. Authorities said the three victims, aged 48, 38 and 21, were walking separately when Wnuk approached and struck them.
According to sources, Wnuk punched one man in the back, another in the shoulder and a third in the side of the head while yelling “f–king Jews.” All three victims reported pain to their faces but declined medical treatment at the scene.
Footage from the aftermath showed police taking Wnuk into custody while he was wearing a black T-shirt displaying the Iranian flag.
Wnuk was arraigned later that day in Brooklyn Criminal Court and charged with multiple offenses, including hate crime assault. He was remanded in custody with bail set at $5,000 cash and is scheduled to return to court on April 30.
Police have not indicated a prior connection between the suspect and the victims. The investigation remains ongoing.
