A driver was arrested after he repeatedly rammed his car into the entrance of a Brooklyn synagogue late Wednesday night — bizarrely claiming “it slipped” as a group of concerned onlookers crowded the scene.
The gray Honda Sedan with New Jersey plates was seen in a harrowing video circulating on social media backing up and plowing into a side entrance of Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters in Crown Heights at least four times.
The NYPD confirmed that officers responded to the Eastern Parkway building for a “motor vehicle collision” at about 8:45 p.m.
Officers found the car had crashed into the doors of a sloped driveway at the synagogue, authorities said.
Video of the incident shows that the doors were knocked off their hinges.
The driver eventually exits the car and snaps as witnesses huddle nearby.
“I dunno, it slipped! It slipped, you f–king a–hole!” the driver hissed at a Jewish man while gesturing wildly to his car.
The bystanders identified the man as the driver to police, and he was swiftly taken into custody, according to the video.
Police said that the incident is still under investigation.
There were no injuries, according to a community leader.
