A man accused of storming a rabbi’s home and stabbing five people as they celebrated Hanukkah was arrested within hours of the Saturday night attack in Monsey, New York. Grafton E. Thomas has pleaded not guilty to five counts of attempted murder.
Cuomo said Saturday’s savagery was the 13th anti-Semitic attack in New York since Dec. 8 and endemic of “an American cancer on the body politic.”
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., called on the FBI to investigate possible links between the Monsey stabbing spree and other recent attacks. The Simon Wiesenthal Center said it wants the FBI to create a special task force. “The guy came in wielding a big knife, sword, machete — I don’t know what it was,” said Josef Gluck, who hit the assailant with a coffee table during the attack.The dining room, he said, emptied in split seconds. While inside the home, the assailant didn’t say a word as he carried out the attack, he said.“He had something in his hand. It looked like an umbrella. It was covered,” Kraus said.
At a celebration in Monsey on Sunday that was planned before the shooting, several members of the community stood guard armed with assault-style rifles. They refused to give their names when approached by an AP journalist, but they said they were there to defend their community. that was the site of Saturday night’s attack; he required surgery. It’s unclear whether the assailant has been arrested.
