NEW YORK — An attacker stabbed a Jewish man while shouting “allahu akbar” in New York City on Thursday afternoon, the NYPD said, citing victim and witness statements.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said two victims were stabbed in separate attacks on the Upper West Side.
One of the victims was Jewish and one was Asian, Tisch said.
Tisch identified the suspect as 51-year-old Raul Morales, who was taken into custody at the scene. She said the NYPD was evaluating whether the attack was a hate crime, adding that “mental health may have been a factor.”
New York Assemblymember Micah Lasher, a Jewish representative of the area, was at the scene and told The Times of Israel that one of the victims was wearing a kippah.

In the UK, the victim would have been arrested.

Was it a Phillips or flathead? One could be considered a hate crime.

A screwdriver?
I guess a subway track in which to throw the victim into just wasn’t an available option.

Decades-long state prison sentences. Not a vacation at some suburban “hospital” (i.e., country club) with gardening privileges, weekend passes, and conjugal visits.

They need to start carrying guns and shooting these attackers.
It’s no secret that almost every country south of our border has dumped their prison and mental hospital populations on the US.

I thought it was weird when Mamdani uncharacteristically tweeted about the Jewish fast day today (Tisha B’Av). Now I’m thinking he was signaling to jihadists.

Phillips, straight slot, or torx?
