Joseph Borgen, Brutally Beaten By Group Of Muslims
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A Jewish man was attacked Thursday in the Diamond District, as pro-Israel and pro-Palestine protesters clashed in Times Square.
Police said a group of five to six men attacked the 29-year-old victim around 6:30 p.m. on Broadway near West 49th Street.
The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating some of the incidents in the area.
CBS2’s Alice Gainer spoke to one man who was beaten on the ground.
“My whole face… felt like it was on fire for hours,” Joseph Borgen said.
A bruised Borgen says that’s him on the ground in disturbing video showing a violent attack by a group of men. Police said they also used an anti-Semitic slur during the attack.
“They were macing me for like a minute straight,” he said. “Kicked me, punched me, beat me with crutches, hit me with flags.”
He says he’s bruised all over and has a concussion.
Borgen was alone, on his way to attend a pro-Israel rally at 47th and Seventh – the same one he says he attended last week.
“Wore my yarmulke, wore my kippah,”
