NYPD Opens Hate Crime Investigation After Car Rams Into Chabad Headquarters Building
The driver was arrested immediately after ramming the building multiple times during a holiday event; no injuries were reported and a hate crime investigation is underway.
- Wednesday night, at 770 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, a man intentionally and repeatedly drove a car into the Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters' entrance.
- On the Chabad holiday Yud Shevat, when thousands of attendees were expected, the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the crash as a possible hate crime.
- Video from the scene shows a grey 2012 Honda Accord with New Jersey plates striking the rear entrance three times, while the NYPD Bomb Squad found no explosives in the vehicle.
- Authorities evacuated the building and the synagogue at 770 Eastern Parkway was cleared as a precaution while officers at a fixed post took the driver into custody with no injuries reported.
- Officials noted this fits into a broader rise in hate crimes, and Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, said it adds to anxiety for Jewish New Yorkers while the White House monitored the situation.
