The incident occurred in Rockland County at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 10, on Lawler Boulevard in Spring Valley.
According to Spring Valley Police Det. Sgt. Rony Charles, the two women were walking on Lawler Boulevard when a vehicle drove by and shot an unknown type of projectile at them, striking one.
Charles said the women were not injured but told police the people in the vehicle were shouting anti-Semitic remarks before speeding away.
Officers and detectives immediately began an investigation and were able to determine the vehicle involved. Banks said the suspects were identified, located, interviewed, and charged over several weeks.
The projectile was determined to be from a toy gun that shot "gel pellets."
Nicholas Sanchez, age 19, of Spring Valley, and the two juveniles were charged with aggravated harassment based on race/religion.
All three were released on appearance tickets for a future court date.
