“This is my dog and F--- you, You F---ing N-----,”: Two White Men Attack Black Man Walking his Dog in Crown Heights

From [HERE] and [HERE] Two white men were charged with attacking a 56-year-old black man in Crown Heights over the weekend, in an apparent hate crime. Samuel Brendler and Ahrone Koskase were arrested Saturday for assaulting the victim at Montgomery Street and Albany Avenue around 6:40 p.m. the same day.

Two white men were charged with a hate crime after they attacked and hurled racial slurs at a 56-year-old black auxiliary police officer in Brooklyn, authorities said.

The two first threw trash cans at Hyppolite, striking him in the shoulder, police said. They then punched him, knocking him to the ground as they tried to take his dog, according to police and the criminal complaint.

“This is my dog and F--- you, You F---ing N-----,” one of the men yelled at Hyppolite, according to the criminal complaint.

Hyppolite suffered bruises and cuts to his knees and elbows but refused medical attention at the scene, police said.

The two men were charged with assault and menacing as a hate crime and were both held on $5,000 bail after they were arraigned in Brooklyn criminal court on Sunday, police said.
