Antisemitism Accused in Upper West Side Stabbing | New York City News

A Manhattan prosecutor has charged 51-year-old Raul Morales with multiple hate crimes after he allegedly stabbed two men near synagogues on the Upper West Side in July — one Asian American and one Jewish man — both attacks fueled by antisemitism. Investigators uncovered damning evidence, including text messages, revealing Morales’ alleged bias. The NYPD says the assaults were unprovoked and targeted solely because the victims were Jewish. Both victims survived but were hospitalized. With the High Holidays approaching, New York’s governor is pledging major funding to protect vulnerable communities from hate-driven violence.
