Video appears to show plow truck in New Jersey intentionally target Orthodox Jewish men with snow, i [View all]
Police in New Jersey are investigating a snowplow driver who appears on video to intentionally spray two Orthodox Jewish men with snow and ice.
The investigation by the Lakewood Police Department was confirmed Tuesday by Mayor Raymond G. Coles.
Coles said in a statement: “I was appalled and shaken when I saw this video. Not only was it cruel but it was also incredibly stupid and dangerous. The plow could easily have thrown chunks of ice or rock and seriously injured or killed either of the victims. I am glad to know our police department is investigating all aspects of this incident.”
A company called Waste Management said in a statement Sunday that an off-duty employee posted video of the incident on a social media account and has been suspended.
"The hateful conduct depicted in this video is unacceptable and does not reflect the values of inclusion and diversity we hold as a company," the company said. "The employee is suspended while we investigate the incident, but we can confirm that this behavior will not be tolerated from any WM employee and we will not employ those who act in this way.”
Waste Management said in a statement Tuesday that the employee in question "is no longer employed" with the company.
