A 28-year-old Jewish man from Brooklyn faces extradition from Israel in a hate crime against the black son of an NYPD police officer

"We have been waiting over two years," said Moses Charles, whose son Andrew Charles, 22, was assaulted in 2008. "I hope justice will finally be served." Yitzhak Shuchat - accused of beating Charles, who is black, with a wooden club - has been arrested in Israel and faces an extradition hearing. Andrew Charles was attacked in Crown Heights when a Jewish man on a bicycle doused him with pepper spray. Shuchat is accused of jumping out of a GMC Envoy and beating him in the back and arm with a nightstick, police said. A month after the attack, police released a photo of Shuchat, a member of a Hasidic Jewish civilian crime patrol named Shmira, and an arrest warrant was issued. But Shuchat escaped to Canada three weeks after the attack and went to Israel three days later. He now faces charges of second-degree assault as a hate crime. Moses Charles was enraged to learn that Shuchat was living openly outside Tel Aviv with his family. "My son has been suffering," he said. "I hope we can finally have some closure."
