In a disgusting and evil attack against Jewish students in New York City, a man tried to use his car to run down Jewish students outside of a Jewish school in Brooklyn.
The man, identified as a 58-year-old Pakistani immigrant, screamed “I’m gonna kill all the Jews” as he mounted the curb with his car in an attempt run over Jewish students.
Here’s more from the New York Post:
A maniac tried to mow down Orthodox students and a rabbi outside a Brooklyn Jewish school Wednesday while allegedly yelling “I’m gonna kill all the Jews” in a shocking antisemitic attack, sources told The Post.
Video footage supplied by the Flatbush Shomrim Safety Patrol shows the crazed driver revving his engine and mounting the curb as he swerved toward Orthodox Jews milling around a yeshiva in Canarsie at about 11:25 a.m.
Police and sources identified the alleged attacker as 58-year-old Asghar Ali, a Pakistani immigrant livery cab driver with a history of mental illness.
The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the case, and detectives were interviewing the driver Wednesday night.
The Brooklyn man faces more than a dozen charges including attempted murder, attempted assault and hate crimes charges.
Cops do not believe the attack is terror-related and on Wednesday night did not have evidence he was tied to radical groups online, according to sources.
The man was driving a 2011 white Crown Victoria and making a turn onto East 55th Street in front of the Mesivta Nachlas Yakov School when he suddenly veered toward students dressed in Orthodox garb, according to the NYPD and video footage.
He then drove around the block and back toward the school — this time targeting two more students standing outside and a rabbi.
“I’m gonna kill all the Jews,” the driver allegedly seethed, according to police.
The victims managed to find safety in the building, which also has as dorms, the clip shows
No one was hurt in the attack, cops said. Authorities listed five victims in the case: a trio of 18-year-olds, a 41-year-old man and a 44-year-old man.
