NYPD charges woman with hate crimes in syringe stabbing of NYC rabbi
Anna Mochalova, 32, allegedly stalked and stabbed a rabbi with a needle in Midtown, then attacked a second Jewish man minutes later.
What to know
- A rabbi doing street outreach in Manhattan's Diamond District was stalked and stabbed with a syringe-like object in a suspected antisemitic attack.
- Prosecutors say the suspect, Anna Mochalova, attacked a second Jewish man minutes later but spared a third man after he said he was Muslim.
- Mochalova faces hate crime charges and $50,000 bail; her lawyer claims she was misidentified and has no prior criminal record.
- The attack follows a reported 13% rise in NYC hate crimes this year, with anti-Jewish incidents making up more than half.
“You know, having her back outside is just a danger to everybody outside. She needs to get help.”
