“#Heshy Tischler released from jail as journo-attack case moves forward<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Orthodox City Council candidate Heshy Tischler was arraigned Monday for allegedly inciting an attack on a journalist.<\/p>\n

Tischler, wearing a yarmulke and black blazer, app<\/a>eared behind white metal bars, as he was arraigned on one count each of unlawful imprisonment,\u00a0 inciting to riot, menacing and harassment in connection to the assault of journalist Jacob Kornbluh in Borough Park last week.<\/p>\n

Assistant DA Ari Farkas requested an order of protection in favor of Kornbluh.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe defendant walked up to the complainant and was yelling and screaming at his face,\u201d the prosecutor said in Brooklyn Criminal Court. \u201cHe had directed the crowd, which grew from about 10 to 20 to almost 100 people, to yell and scream, calling this person a snitch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kornbluh, who is also Orthodox, was punched and kicked last Wednesday by an enraged mob who called him a \u201cNazi\u201d and \u201cHitler\u201d for his criticisms of the demonstration.<\/p>\n

Farkas said that while Tischler was in custody awaiting arraignment, that a Twitter<\/a> account associated with him launched a \u201ccampaign against the complainant.\u201d<\/p>\n

The account tweeted Kornbluh\u2019s address and a group of people gathered outside his home Sunday night, and \u201cthey yelled and they screamed and there were bullhorns and they were there until about 3 a.m.,\u201d the prosecutor told the judge.<\/p>\n

Tischler interjected, \u201cYour honor, it\u2019s not. I only have one account.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tischler\u2019s attorney Abraham <\/span>Hoschander vehemently countered that the protective order should be issued against Kornbluh in Tischler\u2019s favor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a bigger danger to my client,\u201d the attorney claimed, adding that the 24 hours his client spent in jail awaiting arraignment were \u201ca travesty of justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis whole thing is disgusting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Judge Edwin Novillo ordered Tischler\u2019s release without bail as required by law and issued an order of protection in Kornbluh\u2019s favor. He ordered Tischler back to court on April 27.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan\u2019t I have a speedier trial than that?\u201d Tischler interrupted.<\/p>\n

The attack on Kornbluh occurred amid protests against new coronavirus restrictions imposed after an uptick of cases in the Borough Park neighborhood and elsewhere. Kornbluh immediately blamed the attack on Tischler, who had allegedly organized the demonstrations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was just brutally assaulted, hit in the head, and kicked at by an angry crowd of hundreds of community members of the Boro Park protest \u2014 while yelling at me \u201cNazi\u201d and \u201cHitler\u201d \u2014 after Heshy Tischler recognized me and ordered the crowd to chase me down the street,\u201d Kornbluh\u00a0tweeted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kornbluh wasn\u2019t the only reporter targeted during the demonstrations against Gov. Andrew Cuomo\u2019s new restrictions on synagogues, schools and non-essential businesses in sections of the city with high COVID-19 rates.<\/p>\n

Freelance photographer Bruce Schaff and Borough Park resident Berish Getz were also attacked during the protests.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
