Three Lakewood men have been indicted on charges of bias intimidation of two Frum men in connection with attacks and robberies of the two in separate incidents.

In the 13-count indictment handed up by an Ocean County grand jury, Devon Hardy, 20, is charged with the attempted murder of Rabbi Yakov Jack Goldbaum, 41.

The indictment, handed up Monday, charges Hardy, Jose Diaz, 42, and Timothy Swift, 18, all of Lakewood, with first-degree robbery with a knife and first-degree bias intimidation during an attack on Rabbi Goldbaum outside his home in Lakewood about 1:00AM on July 8 - reported HERE on YWN.

Police said at the time that Goldbaum was attacked from behind and robbed of his wallet. He was critically injured, bleeding from an abdominal wound, when his wife called for help, they said.

The indictment charges the three suspects with third-degree aggravated assault, third-degree possession of a weapon and unlawful possession of a weapon.

Hardy, Diaz and Swift, as well as Liduvina Garcia, 40, of Lakewood and Jessica Martinez, 21, of Seaside Heights are charged with two counts each of fraudulent use of Goldbaum's credit cards on July 8.
