‘Allahu Akbar’ NYC Knife Attack Could Be Labeled a Hate Crime

A possible hate crime occurred in New York City on Thursday after a man stabbed two people while yelling, “Allahu Akbar,” Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed.

The NYPD has arrested 51-year-old Raul Morales in connection with both assaults, and no other people are being sought. Detectives are continuing to work the case and determine a motive, but according to victim and witness statements, Morales yelled the religious phrase during both attacks.

The NYPD is currently evaluating whether the assault is a potential hate crime, Tisch wrote on X.

“I want to commend the bravery of a good Samaritan who led our officers to the location where the perpetrator was hiding, as well as our NYPD cops who brought an end to the incident without further injuries,” she added.

The two victims of the individual stabbings, an Asian man and a Jewish man, were rushed to NYC’s Mt. Sinai-St. Luke’s Hospital and are reportedly in stable condition.

As reported by Tisch, mental health problems could have been at play.
