Several Jewish men attacked in Brooklyn over past few days

NEW YORK -- There's a disturbing trend of Jewish men being attacked in Brooklyn.

The most recent incident happened around 2 p.m. Tuesday in Flatbush. Video shows two men walking when one of them was punched.

CBS2 has been told the suspect said, "Free Palestine."

There was a similar scene in Williamsburg on Sunday when a person was attacked while walking with children.

Two days before that in Crown Heights, police say a man punched and kicked another man and made antisemitic remarks.

The NYPD's Hate Crime Task Force is investigating.
