A Hasidic activist who has crusaded against perverts in the ultra-orthodox Jewish community said he was splashed with bleach by an enemy in a violent act of street retribution Tuesday.
Nathan (Nuchem) Rosenberg, 62, said the vicious attack was linked the the bombshell sex abuse conviction Monday of prominent Satmar sect counselor Nechemya Weberman.
Rosenberg attended every day of the trial to support the victim.
“Because of the Weberman case, everything is upside down,” he said. “Everybody is crazy.”
Rosenberg, who suffered an internal eye burn that limited his vision, runs an information phone line that often names alleged molesters. He said he was walking down Roebling St. in Williamsburg, Brooklyn around noon when he was approached by another man. …
The victim’s account was confirmed by Primo Santiago, 65, a liquor store owner who witnessed the attack from outside his store.
Santiago told the Daily News he saw someone run across the street with a cup, splash its contents and run away.
