Ingraham: Violence against Jewish Americans erupts across the country
'The Ingraham Angle' host asks where is the Left and the media as attacks against Jews rise
The NYPD released photos of the four men wanted in connection with Thursday’s vicious beating of a Jewish man near Times Square.
Joseph Borgen, 29, said he was at 49th Street and Broadway, walking to a pro-Israel rally when he was set upon by a mob that kicked and beat him.
"I felt a liquid being poured on my face and at first I thought I was getting urinated on, but it tuned out I was getting maced and pepper sprayed. My face was on fire. That pain was worse than the concussion and all this other stuff that followed." Borgen, an Upper East Side resident told The Post.
He said the incident made him rethink wearing his yarmulke in public.
