reports<\/a>.<\/p>\nProsecutors, however, showed a video of Stora harassing a Jewish couple as well as videos he recorded of himself shouting and harassing white people, according to the Post.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe victims were met with both violence and harassment simply because of who they are,\u201d Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement after the conviction. \u201cHate crimes strike at the core of our city\u2019s values and sense of safety.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stora was remanded into custody and his sentencing is scheduled for April 14.<\/p>\n
Messages left on his Instagram account, where he claims to be the \u201cgreat great grandson\u201d of the Black nationalist Marcus Garvey and running for governor as a Republican, weren\u2019t immediately returned.<\/p>\n
The March 25, 2024, assault on a then-23-year-old woman attracted wide attention after the victim posted about it on TikTok and several other people described similar attacks.<\/p>\n
Stora\u2019s punch knocked the woman to the ground and caused pain and swelling on the left side of her head, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n
Months earlier, prosecutors said, Stora elbowed a 17-year-old student in the neck and said, \u201cYou people think you can do whatever you want,\u201d using a curse word.<\/p>\n
He also elbowed a 37-year-old woman in the shoulder, causing bruising, in another incident, and then harassed a couple who had photographed him tearing down posters of Israeli hostages.<\/p>\n
Stora followed the husband and wife, shouting anti-white and antisemitic threats and insults including, \u201cDie, Jews, die!\u201d according to prosecutors.<\/p>\n
