A Jewish man is recovering Friday after being attacked, punched and robbed in the front yard of his Crown Heights residence by an attacker who spewed antisemitic profanities at him on the first night of Hanukkah.

Joshua Merenfeld, 40, told NBC New York he was standing outside of his building when a man walked up behind him, punched him, pushed him over, kicked him and then took his phone.

“It was a real beating,” Merenfeld said. “It wasn’t just one punch and left, it took quite a while. At least a minute of punches which is a long time for punches.”

The man who attacked Merenfeld “used a bunch of antisemitic terminology and profanities,” he said.
