Ashgar Ali, 58, drove on the sidewalk in an alleged attempt to hit five Jewish men outside a yeshiva while making antisemitic statements. The incident was captured on surveillance camera.
"This was a horrific antisemitic attack that could have caused serious injury or G-d forbid death of an innocent student whose only crime was being Jewish," said Rabbi Yeruchim Silber, director of New York government relations at the Agudath Israel of America.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul expressed gratitude for the perpetrator's apprehension, emphasizing that hate crimes have no place in society.
