  • Wednesday, an unnamed 17-year-old student was arrested at Renaissance Charter School in Jackson Heights after a 911 call about an emailed threat sent to more than 300 students.
  • NYPD data show a sharp January rise in anti-Jewish incidents, with hate crimes spiking 182 percent and 31 cases last month accounting for more than half of all reports in New York City.
