- Equipped with hammers and crowbars, two burglars gained entry into a Crown Heights apartment occupied by young man and his pregnant wife.
- -
- When the couple heard noises outside their bedroom, they placed calls to 911, a relative, and to Shmirah -- a volunteer security organization that patrols Jewish neighborhoods in marked, radio-dispatched vehicles.
- -
- Shmira arrived before the police and the intervention resulted in a bloody scuttle with one of the burglars.

- In this image, witnesses who saw the beating confront a neighbor of the young couple with accusations that the beating given by Shmira forces was racially motivated and unnecessary.
