NBC reports that owners at the deli, which is a kosher establishment, say that teenagers have come in before yelling antisemitic language.
Police say that there is no indication that the incident was a hate crime and they are not investigating it as one.
When police responded to a call from the deli one 23-year-old man reported being assaulted.
Police have observed the surveillance footage but haven't been able to identify any suspects.
'I don’t want to think how it could end if it there wasn't a few people in the store,'said Klein to dnainfo.com.
'We’re trying to make a living here and it’s very scary to be insecure,' he said.
Local leaders, including Borough President Eric L. Adams, are planning to hold a news conference today about the attack
The young vandals can be seen knocking over shelves in the front of the store and grabbing armfuls of candy as they threw storage on the ground.
