The woman, a neighborhood resident in her 30s, told The Associated Press she learned of the protest after hearing police helicopters over her apartment.
As the chants grew in intensity, a lone police officer tried to escort her to safety.
“I realized at that point that I couldn’t lead this mob of men to my home.
After several blocks, the officer hustled the woman into a police vehicle, prompting one man to yell, “Get her!”
The protest against Ben-Gvir’s Brooklyn appearance generated condemnations from some Jewish groups, who accused participants of targeting a religious site.
A Chabad-Lubavitch spokesman, Rabbi Motti Seligson, denounced both the anti-Ben-Gvir protesters and the mob that chased the woman.
The fact that a possibly uninvolved bystander got pulled into the melee further underscores the point,” he said. »
