Riot breaks over secret tunnel built under synagogue in New York City’s Brooklyn | Nine arrested

A riot broke over a secret tunnel built underneath a Synagogue in the heart of New York City’s Brooklyn. A protest was staged on January 8, 2024, when the cement trucks arrived to shut the tunnel. Due to violence the NYPD officials intervened and arrested over nine people aged between 19-22. The passageway is believed to have started in the basement of an empty apartment, and it eventually leads to the Synagogue. The New York City building agents suspected the tunnel was built illegally, which led to structural damage to the synagogue. A Chabad spokesperson said a “group of extremist students” created the passageway, the reason for the creation of the tunnel is still unknown.
