The NYPD is on the hunt for a woman who is accused of attacking a group of Jewish children last week.
According to the Washington Post, the incident took place outside the Kehal Tiferes Avrohom Ziditshov Orthodox synagogue in Brooklyn around 12:30 p.m. Friday.
Surveillance video shows the woman approaching three kids on the sidewalk and hurling “anti-Jewish statements” before spitting on one of them.
“Hitler should have killed you all,” she said, according to the NYPD. “I’ll kill you and know where you live.”
Authorities also said the child who was allegedly spat on was an 8-year-old boy and the other two kids were ages 2 and 7.
“This woman passed by them, yelled at them. Something along the lines of Hitler should have killed you all,” their father, Aryah Fried, told WLNY.
He also said that his 8-year-old son then told the suspect he would’ve saved his little sister in the Holocaust.
“I gotta teach him not to engage, but he engaged,” he continued. “And she came running back at him, spat in his face, and told him we will kill you all, I know where you live, and we’ll make sure to get you all next time.”
Police have not made any arrests and do not know the identity of the suspect.
The NYPD said described the woman as a woman in her 20s, standing at about 5-feet-3-inches tall with black hair. She was last seen wearing an orange sweatshirt, black leggings, and “Ugg” style boots.
She could face aggravated harassment charges for the alleged attack.
”I would hope that she understands the severity of what she did,” Fried said. “To do it to anybody is obviously problematic, but for an adult to do it to a child is just beyond crazy.”
