#Shomrim member slashed while responding to assault in Brooklyn

A member of the Jewish volunteer safety patrol group Shomrim was slashed in Brooklyn Wednesday night while intervening in a separate assault, police said.

The attack on the Shomrim member occurred about 9:50 p.m. as the neighborhood watch group tried to break up a fight between four suspects and a man seated on a bench at 46th Street and New Utrecht Avenue in Borough Park, cops said.

The victim from Shomrim was slashed below the knee and taken to Maimonides Medical Center in stable condition, authorities said.

Three of the four suspects, described by police as men in their early 20s, were arrested by the NYPD. The fourth remained at large as of early Thursday.

Charges against the men are pending.

Police said the man on the bench from the original assault left the scene without medical attention. It’s unclear if the original dispute turned physical.
