NEW YORK — The suspect who allegedly rammed a vehicle into Chabad’s world headquarters in New York City was charged with hate crimes on Thursday, a day after the incident.

NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny, at a briefing in Manhattan, named the suspect as Dan Sohail, 36, from Carteret, New Jersey.

Sohail allegedly smashed his Honda Accord into an entrance of the synagogue five times at around 8:45 p.m. There were no injuries and the suspect was arrested at the scene.

Sohail was charged with attempted assault, reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, and aggravated harassment. All the charges were filed as hate crimes, a stipulation that increases the potential penalty in the case of a conviction.

Sohail had previous contacts with Chabad, attending a “social gathering” at the same location around 10 days ago, Kenny said.

Video circulating on social media showed a man resembling the suspect dancing in a circle inside the synagogue.
