A Jewish man was robbed and assaulted in Brooklyn, New York by three men on motorcycles who grabbed his kippah while threatening him with anti-Jewish slurs.

The anti-Semitic mugging took place in the Williamsburg area at the intersection of Metropolitan Avenue and Graham Avenue on the afternoon of June 2, police stated on Friday.

According to the New York Post, the three assailants approached the 21-year old Jewish man. They made anti-Semitic statements while demanding he hand over his money.

When the victim tried to call 911 the bikers grabbed his kippah and rode off down Manhattan Avenue.
