Stained Mattresses Pulled from Tunnels Under NYC Synagogue

 The international news community is covering the story:

Wild scenes broke out on Monday at a synagogue in Brooklyn after construction workers arrived to fill in a tunnel illegally dug into the earth - and young Orthodox Jewish men climbed into the path to block its closure.

Ten people were arrested, local media reported, when the New York Police Department was called to quell the uprising, with video cameras rolling to capture the chaos as cops clashed with the community. 

The rabbi who runs the synagogue, Yosef Braun, said the actions of the young men were 'horrid' and a disgrace to the holy site.
