Several men arrested after dispute over secret tunnel in Brooklyn synagogue

Brawl erupted between police and those who created passageway and wanted it to remain at Chabad-Lubavitch headquarters

A group of men belonging to a Hasidic Jewish community in New York were arrested on Monday amid a dispute over an illegal tunnel secretly dug into the side of a historic synagogue, which has since been closed.

Action by law enforcement after the tunnel came to light led to a brawl between police and those who had created the passageway and wanted it to remain.
