Police have arrested a 61-year-old man who allegedly broke the windows of a Midtown Manhattan business and littered it with anti-Semitic graffiti in 2022.
The incident occured on July 28, 2022, when witnesses saw the man hang up pieces of paper with anti-Semitic statements outside the business at 593 9th Ave, before he brandished a hammer and broke the storefront windows at around 12:50 a.m.
The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force investigated the incident for over a year, before they finally arrested 61-year-old Salah Elnaggar on Criminal Mischief charges on Sunday night.
