Shocking video shows snowplow drivers covering two Orthodox Jewish men walking on the side of the road with snow as they drive by and laugh.
The video was recorded by someone inside the snowplow’s passenger seat and shows the snow being pushed onto the two walking men. Men are heard laughing from inside the plow.

The video was posted to social media and caught the attention of local authorities. New Jersey police are now investigating the incident to determine if it was a hate crime.
Lakewood Mayor Ray Coles said he was “disgusted” by the video. He added that the victims were not injured and were likely walking home from Shabbat when the incident occurred, ABC 6 reports.
The waste management company that employs the plow drivers denounced the incident and said the driver has been suspended.
“We are aware of an incident that was posted by an off-duty WM employee to his personal social media account. The hateful conduct depicted in this video is unacceptable and does not reflect the values of inclusion and diversity we hold as a company.”
