"The victim followed him down the block, where the argument escalated into a physical confrontation. At some point, police say the suspect pulled out a sharp object and stabbed the victim in the chest. The victim continued to follow the suspect as he fled across the street and down another block. He was taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and has since been released."
"Investigators are looking into reports that the suspect made antisemitic remarks before the stabbing. The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is leading the investigation, and police have deployed additional officers to Crown Heights as they search for the man. Mayor Eric Adams condemned the attack, saying, "We cannot let this hate persist in our city, and we will never back down," adding that "evil, hateful, antisemitic violence must come to an end.""
