(Jewish Group) Jewish man stabbed repeatedly outside New York synagogue
An Orthodox man was stabbed multiple times on his walk to synagogue for morning prayers.
The man was approaching the synagogue, Toshnad Heichel Torah Utfila in Spring Valley, New York, when at least one man got out of a car, began beating him and stabbed him.
The victim was a 29-year-old teacher and father of four young children, the Rockland/Westchester Journal News reported.
The assailant fled the scene before police and first responders arrived, according to Aaron Hershkowitz, an assistant to the synagogue’s rabbi. The incident occurred at approximately 5:40 a.m.
“It was in fact an assault and a very violent and vicious one at that,” Chief Brad Weidel said in a press conference Wednesday. “Our victim was walking to synagogue, he was approached from behind by at least one and maybe more individuals, and he was assaulted and stabbed, and stabbed more than once.”
