'Mass Stabbing' At Jewish Hannukah Celebration In New York, At Least 5 Injured

At least 5 people have been stabbed after a black male entered Rabbi Rottenburg’s Shul, located in the Forshay neighborhood in Monsey, New York, and pulled out a machete.

As VosIzNeias.com reports, the alleged assailant pulled off the cover and stabbed at least 3 people. One of the victims was stabbed in the chest.

The perpetrator then ran out and escaped in a vehicle. His plates were spotted before he left, and the police are currently searching for him.

Videos of the stabbing attack began disseminating on social media.

Motti Seligson, director of media for Chabad.org, told The Jerusalem Post that the congregants, Hassidim, were gathered for a Hanukkah party and confirmed the preliminary details of the event.

The Orthodox Jewish Public Affairs Council said five people, all Hasidic, were transported to local hospitals with stab wounds. 

"We are closely monitoring the reports of multiple people stabbed at a synagogue in Monsey, NY (Rockland County)," a representative of the New York City Police Department Counterterrorism Bureau tweeted.

Hatzalah emergency response team is on scene and victims have been transferred to the hospital.

As JPost.com notes, this is the second stabbing attack in Monsey in the last two months. In November, a man jumped out of his car in stabbed a father on his way to synagogue, gauging his eye. In the last week, a spate of antisemitic crimes has swept the city.
