Itongadol.- Two Orthodox Jewish men suffered minor injuries after paintballs were fired at them from a passerby vehicle in Williamsburg.
The incidents allegedly happened in succession. In the first incident reported, a 37-year-old was walking down Kent avenue at around 7:30pm, when a vehicle speeding down Kent avenue stopped at the corner of Hewes Avenue and fired paintballs at him.
The second incident apparently happened a few blocks away, as a witness came forward saying he saw a car firing paintballs at a teenager on Lee Avenue corner Lorimer street, sources told JP. However, no victim came forward and no police report was filed.
On Monday, detectives of the 90th precinct reviewed the case and ruled it a possible bias incident. The Hate Crimes Task Force is reviewing the case.
