An African-American suspect who yelled anti-Semitic slurs at a 22-year-old Jewish man in Brooklyn, N.Y., before shoving him to the ground when he tried to film the assault is being held on $10,000 bond.

Jasmine Lucas, 24, was charged in Brooklyn criminal court on Thursday with second-degree robbery as a hate crime and second-degree assault, along with other counts.

In the attack, which she reportedly conducted with another woman, she shouted “F***k you Jew” and “I will kill you Jews” at the Chassidic victim.

The victim sustained minor injuries from being hit in the face with a cell phone.

The incident was at least the 12th reported anti-Semitic attack in New York in the past week.

Jewish groups and local leaders are expected to gather on Thursday in support of the Israeli-owned business as police continue searching for the suspect.
The indictment is subject to a hearing, according to the Office of the State Attorney. If the decision is made to proceed, Tzachi Braverman will be tried for fraud, breach of trust and obstruction of justice.
The meeting also included Isareli Defense Minister Israel Katz and Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir.
The amount of warning time ranges from several seconds in border communities to up to one minute in northern Israel and around two minutes elsewhere.
In supplementary opinion, the Advisory Committee on Senior Civil Service Appointments found “no defect” in the integrity of IDF Maj. Gen. Gofman.
Israel is erased from maps, with all the territory labeled as “Palestine.”
