NEW YORK – Authorities are searching for two suspects in connection with an anti-Semitic attack that took place in Brooklyn in late August.

According to the police report, the suspects approached the man and began to kick and punch him. During the beating, the duo allegedly made anti-Jewish statements, police said.
“Jews should not exist!” Shouted one of the two alleged attackers, according to police sources told the Daily News. “The faith of Islam is the purest!”
