"Riot Erupts as Secret Tunnel Uncovered in NYC Synagogue"

TL;DR Summary
A group of Hasidic Jewish worshippers were arrested after a secret tunnel was discovered beneath a historic Brooklyn synagogue, leading to a brawl between police and those defending the passageway. The tunnel, secretly dug by "extremist students," prompted an emergency structural inspection of the Chabad-Lubavitch world headquarters, once home to Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. The discovery led to a standoff between a construction crew attempting to repair the damaged walls and those wanting the passageway to remain. Ten people were arrested for criminal mischief and criminal trespass, and the building is now closed pending a structural safety review.
