In a horrific course of events, a 13-year-old Jewish girl was assaulted in New York as part of a violent new game called "What the hell are they?," CrownHeights.info reported.  

Quite similar to the recently popular "knockout game" in which assailants on the street punch victims without warning, often from behind, and knock them unconscious, this bizarre new game's objective requires perpetrators to strike someone's feet or legs if it is believed that they are wearing nicer shoes than you, and then shout "what the hell are they" before running away.

On Tuesday, a group of young teenagers, two girls and a boy, tested the sick new "game" by attacking a 13-year-old victim walking around Brooklyn at around 5 p.m., according to Breitbart. The victim was shoved and kicked by one of the girls, who then shouted the game's mantra and escaped.

However, the incident was witnessed by a passerby, another young Jewish girl, who chased the suspect into the Public Library on New York Avenue and contacted the police. By then, other people had joined the chase as well.

In a more disturbing twist, as the suspect and the witness had been waiting for the police to arrive, the scene "descended into one of the ugliest displays of hate and anti-Semitism. Adults shouted anti-Semitic slurs and called for violence against the Jews, simply for being Jewish and standing up for their rights," as described by the local blog CrownHeights.info.

"This is why I hate all them Jews; I would kill them all; I hate them all from 2 years old to 80 years old," shouted a black man who appeared to be in his 40s.

A black woman who appeared to be in her 60s yelled at the victim, "You don't call the police; next time someone hits you, you beat them back up!"

Shortly after the police's arrival, the 12-year-old suspect was arrested, with her parents being called down to the precinct. Admitting that the assault had been part of a game, the assailant was released without charge after receiving stern warnings from both the police and her parents.

Although the victim did not immediately understand what was said to her, later on, when police explained the "game" to her, she recalled that it was indeed what had been said.

Meanwhile, "the neighborhood, Crown Heights, has large Jewish and black populations who live together peacefully most of the time," Breitbart reported. "In the early 1990s, rioting followed the death of a young black child who was run over, and a mob - allegedly incited by Al Sharpton - killed visiting Australian religious student Yankel Rosenbaum."
