New York Governor, Andrew M. Cuomo, called the knife-attack on five (5) people in a Suburb on Saturday night (28th December 2019) “an act of domestic terrorism.”
According to New York Officials and a witness to the gruesome crime, an intruder with a large knife (described as being long as a “broomstick”) stormed the home of a Hasidic Rabbi, stabbing and wounding five (5) people just as they were gathering to light candles for Hanukkah. The Rabbi, Chaim Rottenberg, lives in Monsey, New York, which is in an area with a large population of ultra-Orthodox Jews.
The New York Police Department (NYPD) reported that the suspect, Thomas Grafton (37), was arrested in Harlem and was turned over to the authorities in Rockland County, where the attack took place. Grafton, who is from Greenwood Lake, New York (near Monsey), will face five (5) counts of Attempted Murder and one count of First Degree Burglary, according to Police. Two (2) of the victims remained in Hospital as of Sunday morning.
