Demonstration Against Police Brutality Planned in Crown Heights

Community members outraged by the beating and arrest of 21-year-old Ehud Halevi by NYPD officers have announced they will hold a demonstration on Friday at 2:00 p.m., from the Jewish Children's Museum on Eastern Parkway and Kingston Avenue and march to the 71st Precinct on Empire Blvd.

The demonstration, "Justice for Ehud," is in response to an incident caught on video last Monday showing two 71st Precinct officers battering Halevi about his head and body with their fists and a baton after Halevi refused to leave an outreach center for troubled youth in Crown Heights.
