A motorist jumped a curb and tried to mow down people outside an Orthodox Jewish school in New York City on Wednesday, authorities said.
The driver of a 2011 Ford Crown Victoria yelled antisemitic words as his car left the road went toward people on the sidewalk near 56th Street and Glenwood Road a little before 11:25 a.m. in Brooklyn, according to an New York City Police Department statement.
Surveillance video showed at least two people, wearing yarmulkes and long black garments, running for cover and away from the oncoming car.
Al Asghar, 58, was arrested and charged with a slew of offenses including attempted murder in the second degree as a hate crime, officials said.
It wasn’t immediately clear on Thursday morning if the suspect had hired or been assigned a criminal defense lawyer to speak on his behalf.
