Two Stabbings Under Investigation | Canada News

Two men stabbed on Manhattan’s Upper West Side—one Jewish, one Asian—survive as 51-year-old Raul Morales, arrested after shouting “Allahu Akbar” during both attacks, faces scrutiny over possible hate-motivated violence. The assaults, occurring on the solemn Jewish fast day Tisha B’Av, follow a recent anti-Jewish attack, igniting alarm across communities. While Morales has no known mental health history with NYPD, investigators suspect mental health may have played a role. No ties exist between suspect and victims. Authorities stress the motive remains “fluid,” but condemn the violence. Governor Hochul pledges full legal response, rallying New York’s diverse strength against hate.
