Brooklyn tunnel brawl: 9 ’extremist’ students arrested over synagogue standoff (Watch)

Video footage unveils a secret underground tunnel beneath a historic Brooklyn synagogue that was built by a group of young “extremist students” of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement.  The clandestine tunnel, a passageway between the headquarters of the group and another adjacent property, was first discovered in December last year after neighbors reported hearing suspicious noises coming from beneath their homes. The tunnel was supposedly designed to reach the abandoned men’s mikvah (ritual bathhouse) around the corner. On Monday afternoon, a cement truck was brought in to fill the tunnel, leading to a standoff with those who wanted it to remain. The police were called, and officers found a group of men breaking through a wall of a prayer space. A conflict broke out, leading to the arrest of nine people, according to the Brooklyn district attorney’s office. Connect With The Australian Online 🖥 Follow Us: Facebook ► https://
