More NYPD in Crown Heights - LocalApple

The NYPD will send more cops into Crown Heights in a bid to calm tensions between blacks and Jews in the Brooklyn neighborhood, sources told the Daily News.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly made a surprise tour of Brooklyn's 71st and 77th precincts Monday night, including a stop at a local synagogue.

Jewish community leaders met with top aides to Mayor Bloomberg at City Hall Tuesday and came away with assurances more cops would be on the streets starting last night, sources said.

Police presence in Crown Heights has been growing since Friday, when more than 200 Orthodox Jews marched to the 71st Precinct stationhouse.

The group rallied on behalf of 16-year-old Alon Sherman, who was pummeled and robbed of his bike by two black teens earlier in the day.

"The protesters randomly tried to stop at least one car full of black people. If police hadn't been there, it could have gotten nasty," said a police source who worked the demonstration.

Jewish protesters said the assault on Alon should have been labeled a bias attack and charged the NYPD and Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes with doling out two kinds of justice: one for blacks and one for Jews.

At about 10:00pm last night, there was a shooting on empire and Brooklyn in the heart of the Crown Heights Jewish community. Before the shooting there was a fight between two groups of African Americans and then seven shots were fired. One black male is in critical condition. Police are still searching the area for clues.

The shooting took place in the doorway of a building where many Jews live. Jewish Witnesses say they saw the shooters run up Brooklyn towards eastern parkway. its important to note , that this is the first major crime since Kelly's visit to Crown Heights.

Two police officers were standing half a block from the shooting but waited for back up before approaching the crime scene. The Summer is here and this is only the beginning.
