As a woman, that footage fills me with disgust and rage. Like you said, the thugs who assaulted her didn't even hide their faces, they were so confident their behaviour would be accepted.

And according to the NYT, this isn't the only attack on a woman by a pro-Israel mob:

Flyers for the protest cited two other assaults that organizers said had happened at the Crown Heights protest. The police on Monday could not confirm the other incidents had occurred, but Mayor Eric Adams in a statement on Sunday night said that a second woman was separated from other pro-Palestinian protesters, harassed by counterprotesters and suffered injuries.
