NYPD Opens Hate Crime Investigation After Car Rams Into Chabad Headquarters Building
The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating after a car struck the Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters multiple times during a holiday event; no injuries were reported.
- On January 28, 2026, a car repeatedly struck the Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights about 8:46 p.m., and the driver was arrested with no injuries reported.
- Authorities treating the event as a potential hate crime say the timing coincided with Yud Shevat, when thousands gathered and the Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters was evacuated.
- Video posted online shows the sedan reversing and accelerating into the building's doors, striking the wooden basement/side doors at 770 at least four times; the NYPD Bomb Squad swept the vehicle and found no explosives.
- Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned the crash as intentional and "deeply alarming," and Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the NYPD increased security at houses of worship across all five boroughs.
- Amid a broader rise in antisemitic incidents in recent years, advocates noted the Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters has a Gothic Revival facade and thousands of annual visitors.
