New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio visited Crown Heights on Thursday to show his support following the stabbing of a yeshiva student at Lubavitch Headquarters located in the neighborhood.
In a meeting with community leaders, de Blasio expressed his concern about the incident in which 22-year-old Levi Rosenblatt was stabbed in the neck by Calvin Peters, a 50-year-old African American man.
On Thursday, the Mayor came to the offices of the Crown Heights Jewish Community Council (CHJCC) where he spoke with activists and principals of Jewish schools.
Rosenblatt is currently recovering from his wounds and underwent a surgical procedure at the Bellevue Hospital Center in New York City. His mother flew in from Israel to be with him.
