An armed good Samaritan reportedly intervened in a potential hate crime, chasing off an SUV that was harassing a Jewish family on the side of the road.

“So thankful that a total stranger stepped up to protect us,” said Eric Orgen, whose family had just left a Miami Beach-area synagogue when they were approached by people in an SUV and harassed with antisemitic slurs while the passengers reportedly threw trash and water bottles at the family.
