Maniac in Muslim garb trashes NYC kosher bagel shop in wild caught-on-video tantrum

An out-of-control maniac in traditional Muslim garb trashed a kosher bagel shop in Queens in the latest antisemitic incident in the Big Apple — with the shocking vandalism caught on video.The incident unfolded around 1 a.m.

Friday at Bagels & Company, a popular Israeli-owned business in Jamaica Estates, with the unidentified vandal tossing potted plants, chairs and tables at the building for nearly five minutes, footage posted on Instagram by the Jewish Bukharian community shows.The vandal slipped away, but the incident is now being investigated as a possible hate crime.“This targeted attack on a Jewish business is part of a disturbing pattern of unchecked harassment against the Queens Jewish community despite rallies and public statements,” said Moshe Spern, a Queens high school teacher and president of United Jewish Teachers.“Mayor Mamdani must immediately deploy more NYPD resources to protect our synagogues, schools, and businesses.

These intimidation tactics need to end now,” Spern told The Post.“Jewish New Yorkers deserve safety in our city.”Officials said no one was injured in the incident, which was first reported by JFeed.An 18-year-old Jewish student who asked to remain anonymous said she wasn’t surprised by the attack but admitted she didn’t feel safe walking in the area.“Honestly I was just confused but not surprised,” she said.

“It was just like, here we go, another day basically, but also like why?“It looked like a really angry man throwing tables, screaming — just like bugging out I guess,” she said.“There’s just been a lot more terrorism against Jews, a lot more antisemitism.

And, no, I don’t feel safe here walking by myself.”  Morning Report delivers the latest news, videos, photos and more.Please provide a valid email.
