Victim of brutal antisemitic beat down speaks out after Manhattan DA cuts attacker sweetheart plea deal
Fox News
Joey Borgen, the victim of an antisemitic attack near Times Square< is speaking out Thursday as NY officials demand Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg rethink the plea offer for Waseem Awawdeh.
During the brutal beatdown, Awawdeh allegedly called Borgen a "dirty Jew," said, "F–k Israel," and said, "Hamas is going to kill all of you."

Yet, about a year and a half later, Bragg offered Awawdeh a six-month plea deal last week – even after prosecutors at Awawdeh's arraignment said the alleged ringleader of the attack told jailers he "would do it again" if he could. The next court hearing, when Awawdeh can either accept or reject the deal, is scheduled for Jan. 26.
