Mob chased Brooklyn woman after mistaking her for protester at speech by Israeli security minister

A New York City woman says she feared for her life as she was chased, kicked and pelted with objects by a mob of men who mistook her as a participant in a protest against Israel’s far-right security minister. The incident Thursday night near the Brooklyn headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement happened as an appearance by Itamar Ben-Gvir set off clashes between pro-Palestinian activists and members of the neighborhood’s large Orthodox Jewish community. The woman has told The Associated Press she wasn't involved in the protests but walked by because she was curious. Police eventually drove her to safety.
