Video shows a woman being attacked as protesters clashed outside a New York City synagogue during a visit by Israel's far-right security minister.

New York police are investigating the attack of a Brooklyn woman harassed last week by a pro-Israeli group of men in an encounter captured on multiple videos, which has incited demonstrations and condemnation from religious groups.

After a protest at a Brooklyn synagogue where a far-right Israeli official had spoken, a woman said pro-Israel counterprotesters verbally and physically abused her as she walked by.
