Yes, the traffic in Crown Heights via Tishrei is terrible, but traffic assaults are still illegal.

Two people, including a Lubavitch-Bochur, were arrested Sunday after a traffic fight broke out.

The traffic incident reportedly began north of Eastern Parkway in the area of ​​Lincoln Pl from Kingston Ave to Albany Ave. The fight continued into the area of ​​Carroll Street and Albany Ave when the non-Jewish participant in the incident broke off the bochur and parked, blocking virtually all of Albany Avenue. Both drivers exited their vehicles and the Jewish driver was reportedly attacked and beaten.

Residents and guests jumped to separate the two and the NYPD was called. According to the report, the Bochur fought back and both drivers were injured in the incident.

Hatzalah was also called to treat victims of the incident. Eventually the NYPD arrived and arrested both drivers.

We know how stressful Crown Heights traffic can be during Tishrei, but remember that assault is still assault in the United States.
