NYC stabbings suspect arrested on hate crime charge in 1 attack, but not a 2nd
Prosecutors say the attacks were unprovoked and left both victims hospitalized as police investigate them as hate crimes.
- On Thursday, a 51-year-old suspect stabbed two men—one Asian, one Jewish—on the Upper West Side while allegedly yelling "Allahu Akbar." Police charged Raul Morales with attempted murder and hate crimes for the attack on the Jewish man.
- Jewish leaders gathered Friday to denounce the violence, indirectly blaming New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for fueling antisemitism through his recent viral video calling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "war criminal."
- UJA-Federation of New York CEO Eric Goldstein condemned Mamdani's rhetoric, arguing it creates a climate of hate. Manhattan Assemblyman Micah Lasher urged leaders to "take the temperature down" to ensure New Yorkers feel safe.
- The Council on American-Islamic Relations defended Mamdani, condemning Israel advocacy groups for their "dishonest and dangerous" conflation of Netanyahu and American Jews, while critics labeled the response "gaslighting."
- Advocacy group EndJewHatred scheduled a rally for Sunday near the attack site, protesting the mayor's rhetoric; authorities are investigating the suspect's mental health, though leaders emphasize overheated political discourse's broader impact.
