6.23.19 | Video by LoudlabsNYC | TIMES SQUARE, Manhattan - A brawl broke out between Israelis and Israelites. It happened early Sunday morning just after midnight at 42nd St & 7th Ave. The alleged "Israelites" were speaking about their beliefs when some young Israelis were walking by and heard what they had to say was anti-semitic. According to the Israelis we spoke to, a verbal dispute escalated to physical violence when the speaker assaulted the Israelis who defended themselves with pepper spray. The speaker initially resisted arrest and backup were called to assist in the arrest. He was transported to the Midtown precinct. The Israelis were seen treated for head injuries by EMS. The religious group angrily declined to be interviewed.
