Signs in Williamsburg Telling Women To Move For Men

City workers have removed signs warning women in a Hasidic neighborhood in Brooklyn to step aside for men.

But the Parks Department says the teardowns in South Williamsburg had nothing to do with the message itself; it's just illegal to post signs on street trees.

"We do not know who put up the signs," said Parks spokeswoman Trish Bertuccio.

The large signs started popping up in the neighborhood more than a week ago. They had a Yiddish message that translates as: "Precious Jewish daughter, please move to the side when a man approaches."

Neighborhood residents were annoyed the plastic signs, which were bolted into the wood, were taken away.

@AmadeusD yiddish and hebrew are not the same language, and Diana Williams says that they are in yiddish and then at 0:17, Fleisher says that "look hard enough, and you will find signs in hebrew..." my point is, channel 7 clearly didn't go over this news video before posting it because it's not consistent
