A mob of teenagers vandalized a kosher market Saturday night in the Crown Heights area of Brooklyn, the Times of Israel reported.
The group also damaged several cars and buses that were nearby and shouted "Heil Hitler," according to witnesses and video of the incident.
The store, Gourmet Butchers, was likely targeted because it was owned by Jews, the owner, Yanki Klein, told the local ABC News affiliate. The group, which various media sources described as consisting of 30 to 70 youths, primarily African-American, started "to scream and make noise" and then "everything happened in seconds," Klein said.
Another witness told the station that "a whole bunch of guys, they just rush the place. It was like out of nowhere, and everyone was just in like shock-mode, and everyone was shocked to see what was going on, there was no reason for it." The same witness said that members of the group shouted "a Nazi phrase" before running away.
The video footage, posted to YouTube, shows a group of youths gathering outside the store, then cuts to several of them bursting through the main entrance, knocking over a shelf and throwing products around before leaving.
