NYC SHOCKER: Jewish, Asian Men Stabbed! Hate Crime Suspect Yells ‘Allah Akbar’
Did you know antisemitic hate crimes in New York City surged by an astonishing 182% in just one month under Mayor Zohran Mamdani's tenure? This alarming trend came to a brutal head recently when two men, one Jewish and one Asian, were viciously stabbed in what police are investigating as a possible hate crime near Central Park West. The attack unfolded rapidly: first, 57-year-old Chok Sung was stabbed in the back on West 84th Street. Moments later, 50-year-old Yezhak Grunhaus, a Jewish man wearing a yarmulke who had just left a synagogue, was stabbed in the chest two blocks away. Witnesses reportedly heard the assailant shout "Allah Akbar" before one of the attacks, adding a chilling layer to the violence. Fortunately, both victims are expected to survive after being rushed to Mount Sinai’s Morningside location. However, the incident highlights a disturbing rise in hate-fueled violence across the city. Concerns are mounting as the city's reporting methods for hate crimes have reportedly changed twice under the current administration, following significant increases. This tragic event serves as a stark reminder of the growing tensions and vulnerability faced by minority communities.
