Last Friday night, a young Jewish man was stabbed near the Chabad World Center 770, in the Crown Heights neighborhood in the Brooklyn borough of New York. The terrorist was arrested, the young man was taken to the hospital in a mild condition and released to his home after a few hours.
The terrorist, Vincent Sumpter, a 22-year-old African-American from East New York, was arrested after he was caught and held by members of the Jewish community who saw him attack the young man, after shouting anti-Semitic slogans at them.
“Do you want to die?” Sumpter called out to the group of young men who were walking on the usually quiet street in the neighborhood on a Friday evening, when he started shouting “Free Palestine” and stabbed one of the young men in the stomach.
An activist of the Chabad community wrote in response to the attack that “This is a very serious incident. The victim could have been killed. This act of hate violence underscores the dangerous impact of anti-Semitic incitement and hatred being spread by some politicians and local leaders in New York and across the United States.”
