Knockout Game - State Attenti - Video

NEW YORK The elderly woman had stopped by the Jewish Community Center in the Canarsie area of Brooklyn and was shuffling away, leaning heavily on her walker, when a young man punched her in the head as he walked past, knocking her to the ground.

When she returned to the center for help, the staff called for an ambulance, vigilant that this might have been another example of the "knockout game," a social media trend that had young people punching out random individuals on the street last year. Since that November incident, the neighborhood hasn't had any other anti-Semitic assaults, but that doesn't mean the victim has healed, said Rabbi Avrohom Hecht, executive director of the center, who helped the woman after the assault.

"People should realize when they do this to someone there are emotional and mental scars they leave on people," Hecht said. "I know this woman is still suffering."

Though the knockout game was widely condemned by New York leaders, it still contributed to a threefold increase in anti-Semitic assaults in New York City last year 21 compared to five in 2012, according to an annual audit by the Anti-Defamation League, a nonprofit that fights anti-Semitism.

Nationwide, there were 31 assaults on Jews or those who were perceived as Jewish in 2013, up from 17 the year before, the report released Tuesday said.

They included an incident that targeted a 12-year-old girl who had a bottle thrown at her by a group of girls, one of whom called her a "dirty Jew"; an attack on a 24-year-old Jewish man wearing a yarmulke; and an assault on a man in Los Angeles who was surrounded by a group of men who hit him and shouted "Heil Hitler!"

"Even if there's one incident of hate, that's too many," said Evan Bernstein, the New York regional director of the Anti-Defamation League. "We have to do a better job of trying to prevent it from happening."

Overall nationwide, anti-Semitic incidents declined 19% from 2012 to 2013, the audit shows. There were 315 vandalism incidents, down from 440 in 2012, and 405 incidents of harassment and threats, down from 470 the year before.

New York had the highest number of anti-Jewish incidents last year, according to the audit. And the increase in assaults represents a worrying surge in a city and state known as a melting pot for cultures and ethnicities from around the world.

"It's been a real increase, and we are concerned about it," said Hecht, the Canarsie rabbi.

Attacks on Jews show a troubling increase

FLINT, MI -- One teen has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from an attack on a Mass Transportation Authority bus driver that police attributed to a so-called "knockout game" that has garnered national attention.

The teen, who is not being named because he was charged as a juvenile, pleaded guilty to assault with intent to commit great bodily harm for the Jan. 23 attack, Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said Wednesday, April 2.

The charges carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in custody but the longest the juvenile system allows the suspect to be held is until he is 21.

The bus incident occurred around 6:40 p.m. when a man was attacked while driving the bus in Flint.

Police originally said the incident occurred because one of the suspects was upset about having to pay a bus fare, but further investigation showed it was a planned attack, said Flint police Capt. Collin Birnie.

"This was planned, orchestrated and filmed," he said.

The driver suffered several facial injuries, according to police.

Charges against the 16-year-old who filmed the attack were dismissed because Leyton said his office was unable to show that he actually encouraged the assault.

Attorney Nicholas R. Robinson said his client, who is not named because he was charged as a minor, was not associated with the attacks.

"It was a very unfortunate situation but we're thankful all parties were able to come together to dismiss the charges," Robinson said.
