New York City police arrested a man on hate crime charges after they say he shouted antisemitic threats while trying to mow down people with his car outside of a Jewish school. Asghar Ali, 58, is charged with attempted murder as a hate crime, menacing as a hate crime and reckless driving over the incident that happened just before 11:30 a.m. Wednesday in front of an Orthodox Jewish school on Brooklyn.
“He came once and then he came back,” 18-year-old student Ari Shleft told the Daily News. “The first time he came up on the sidewalk.' The driver “made antisemitic statements” while menacing the victims, a police spokesperson said, adding that no one was injured. Ali was arrested near the scene and was awaiting arraignment Thursday, a spokesperson for the Brooklyn district attorney's office said. It was not clear if he had an attorney who might speak for him.
