NEW YORK - The NYPD released security camera video showing a man assault two people connected to a Jewish congregation outside a synagogue in Midtown Manhattan last Thursday.

A man got into an argument with a 57-year-old male superintendent and a 27-year-old female security guard outside Congregation Talmud Toarh Ader in Kips Bay after they told him to leave the premises just before 11 a.m. on Sept. 29, New York City police said.
