A man armed with a knife and a baseball bat entered a Brooklyn Heights Chabad armed with a knife and a bat on Wednesday, and was removed from the premises by people at the scene before police arrived.
No injuries were reported, and no broader threat to the site or the public was identified.
The man, who is apparently not Jewish, entered the building wearing a kippah and holding the knife and bat, prompting a quick reaction from worshippers and bystanders, who confronted him and removed him from the building before police arrived and arrested him.
This is a developing story.
