Woman Charged With Hate Crimes in Alleged Attacks on Two Jewish Men in NYC
Prosecutors say the suspect followed one victim in Hasidic clothing and later asked another man if he was Jewish before apologizing and walking away.
- On Saturday evening, Manhattan Shomrim announced the arrest of a suspect wanted for two reported assaults on Orthodox Jewish men in Midtown Manhattan; authorities have not disclosed the suspect's identity or specific charges.
- The arrest follows an attack last Wednesday near West 47th Street and Fifth Avenue, where Yosef, a 26-year-old Orthodox Jewish man, was stabbed in the lower back with an unidentified sharp object.
- Manhattan Shomrim credited cooperation with the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force, Crown Heights Shomrim, and Queens Shomrim, alongside public tips that helped authorities locate the suspect.
- Yosef, released from Bellevue Hospital, returned to the Diamond District to demonstrate his refusal to abandon his religious identity following the frightening encounter.
- According to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Jewish New Yorkers have accounted for more than half of reported hate crime victims this year, despite representing approximately 12 percent of the city's population.
