Man stabbed in possible antisemitic hate crime in Crown Heights, NYPD says — suspect at large
Police are looking for a man they say made antisemitic comments before stabbing another man in Brooklyn on Tuesday, and have deployed extra officers to help with the search.
NYPD officials said the stabbing stemmed from a “seemingly random” altercation between the 35-year-old victim and the other man around 4 p.m. near the corner of Kingston Avenue and Lincoln Place in Crown Heights.

Police said the victim was taken to a local hospital for his injuries and released. The NYPD said it has sent dozens of additional officers to Crown Heights and surrounding areas to look for the suspect.
