A spokesman for Mr Kaye said he “feared for his physical safety when he was surrounded by a crowd of angry agitators who surrounded him, physically assaulted him and threw unknown liquids.
“He was unable to identify any of these individuals and was left bloodied by the attack,” the spokesperson said, adding that “given the sharp increase in anti-Semitic incidents, any Jewish person in this situation would understandably feel threatened and would feel the need to defend themselves and return safely to their families.
After the video went viral, he was placed on leave by his company, the New York Post reported.
New York City police confirmed last week that they had opened an investigation into Mr. Kaye after receiving a formal complaint of assault.
