Jewish Group Offers $5,000 for Info on "Knockout" Attackers
Leaders of the New York City Jewish community are calling for the capture of participants involved in the recent rash of violent "knockout" assaults, and are offering a cash award for information leading to their arrest. The Jewish Community Relations Council of New York (JCRC-NY) announced this week that they're willing to pay upwards of $5,000 to anyone who can assist local law enforcement to stop the wave of attacks, which have made national headlines in recent weeks and spawned a trend of similar assaults across the country.Authorities say youths in New York and elsewhere have been increasingly participating in these games of "knockout," in which groups are reported to spontaneously flock and then assault their victim with the intention of taking them to the ground in a single punch. A disproportional number of the incidents in New York have reportedly targeted Jewish residents of Brooklyn and other boroughs, and the JCRC now hopes they can drive the rate of these altercations down by offering an award.
