Nine Orthodox Jewish men were arrested at the world headquarters of a Jewish sect in Brooklyn, following a confrontation with New York police officers.

The unrest at the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic branch in Crown Heights occurred after the New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) arrived to investigate illegal excavation work and its impact on neighboring structures.
