NEW YORK The New York polices hate crimes unit says it is investigating two alleged assaults against Jews over the weekend.

The two incidents took place during Shabbat on Friday night in Brooklyns Williamsburg neighborhood.

In one attack captured by security cameras, an ultra-Orthodox man and woman are seen walking down a sidewalk.

An assailant trails them behind a row of parked cars, then runs up behind the man and strikes him in the back of the head, knocking his hat to the ground. The assailant then flees.

Another alleged assault was reported in the same area on Friday night, according to local groups and the Anti-Defamation League. Details were not immediately available, and it was not clear if the attacks were connected.

The New York Police Departments Hate Crimes Task Force says it opened an active investigation into the incidents, with the help of the local police department and the Shomrim community protection group.

The Anti-Defamation League offered a $7,500 reward for information on the attacks.

The Climate Crisis and Responsible Journalism

As The Times of Israel's environment reporter, I try to convey the facts and science behind climate change and environmental degradation, to explain - and critique - the official policies affecting our future, and to describe Israeli technologies that can form part of the solution.

I am passionate about the natural world and disheartened by the dismal lack of awareness to environmental issues shown by most of the public and politicians in Israel.

I'm proud to be doing my part to keep Times of Israel readers properly informed about this vital subject - which can and does effect policy change.
