Several men from a Hasidic Jewish community in New York were arrested after a dispute over an illegal tunnel dug into a historic synagogue, leading to a brawl between police and the tunnel creators. The Chabad-Lubavitch world headquarters in Brooklyn was in chaos as Jewish leaders and police faced off against the group of "extremist students" who secretly created the passageways. The building, once home to Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, was damaged, and the reason for the tunnels' creation remains undisclosed. The individuals responsible for the tunnels were arrested for criminal mischief and trespass, and the building is now closed pending a structural safety review.
