NYPD officials have been put on alert Monday as fears grew over two mysterious men of Arab origin seen near 770 Eastern Parkway.
Attention increasingly focused on one of the Muslim men who was said to have carried a suitcase into Lubavitch World Headquarters in Crown Heights.
A Lubavitch bochur said he saw a man walking into the main men’s shul with a bag at around 11pm and then leaving the premises empty-handed.
He immediately called the police and the Shmira and Shomrim patrols.
As panic spread in the main shul, populated these days with many Israeli guests, a frantic search began in the area.
But the two were nowhere to be found.
“We could not find proper witnesses to take any sort of further action,” Community Affairs officer Vinnie Martinos told COLlive.com.
Asked what security measures are applied to 770, officer Martinos answered that it depends on the building’s management and the inhabitants.
“We have no way of stopping people for questioning, so we rely on the fact that people know each other and would recognize a stranger.”

whats up with those video cameras that R all over 770
I saw a really suspicious looking Arab walking down Union St.
He looked like the real thing. I don’t think enough precautions are taken. Especially during Tishrei. It’s like a free for all. Hashem should watch over us.
.
who need security cameras, guards, and guns?
! isn’t G-D looking after his beloved chosen ones???
.
i spoke to the person who operates the video cameras:
the police never contacted him and if they would he would show them anything needed
on he other hand: the police told me that they did not get any request from the 770 people (krinsky, sharfstein)
listen all you ppl who think your so smart calm down and btw its a beatiful thing that all these israelis came in to be in the rebbe schuna for the yomim neoraim and as far as security cameras im sure that 770 is very safe so with or without the cameras im”y everyone will be fine
we need real security that does not let anyone and everyone bring in whatever they want. What is stopping a lubavitch looking bocur from bringing in a suitcase full of explosives. it is time we take our security serious.
we need many cameras all over
where are the security cameras??? how come there are no other whitneses?? 770 is ppacked full with people and no one but this Israeli guy saw it?? i have more questions but you catch my drifft right??
I hope the police are doing exactly what they are there to do and if there was an arab dude with a suitcase over there I hope they catch him soon
scary for people who are in 770 all day!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙁
how stupid can u get??????????
#i is mean
How great Our Security System in 770 is!
i’m sure they gave up looking when they saw how many suitcases they would have go through
that is very scary. see what can still happen with the amount of cops around??
he was not a arab, he was a tzfati. he heard someone that saw the rebbe, before the histalkus, was in 770, so he called the police.
well at least their test run was successful, now g-d forbid we need to make sure they dont make it in for the real thing!
Did the cops try to clear 770 out so they could search the place properly? Did the bochurim/guests refuse to leave? Did they find the suitcase?
And why didn’t this eagle-eyed Bochur yell for help when he saw the guys go in?
Too many unanswered questions.
what was in the bag
1Arab?
Looks to me from the pics of Tishrei that you have thousands of them…
