(Jewish Group) Teen arrested and charged with hate crimes for throwing eggs at Jews in Brooklyn
New York police have arrested an 18-year-old Brooklyn male in connection with egg-throwing attacks on Jews in the borough.
The city’s Hate Crimes Task Force took Mohib Hoque into custody late Wednesday night, WCBS-TV reported. He was charged with three hate crimes, including assault, and reckless endangerment, the Jewish news website Vos Iz Neias reported.
A mother and child walking in the Borough Park neighborhood were among those targeted — one was hit in the back, according to Vos Iz Neias — as were worshippers leaving a synagogue. The building was hit by the eggs.
