Two people were stabbed in separate attacks in New York City<\/a>‘s Manhattan on Thursday in incidents that police are investigating as possible hate crimes, according to New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Police have arrested a single suspect, identified as Raul Morales, in connection with both stabbings on the Upper West Side. According to victim and witness statements, the suspect shouted \u201cAllahu akbar\u201d during each assault, Mr Mamdani said.<\/p>\n

The victims, an Asian man and a Jewish man, both survived. <\/p>\n

\u201cI am relieved that both victims are in stable condition,\u201d wrote Mr Mamdani on X. \u201cThe NYPD responded immediately and arrested Raul Morales in connection with both assaults \u2013 and I am grateful to the officers for their swift response.\u201d <\/p>\n

New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said detectives were working to establish a motive. An initial NYPD investigation suggests mental health may have been a factor, while the attacks are also being evaluated as possible hate crimes<\/a>, she added. <\/p>\n

\u201cAt this time, there is no known link between Morales and either of the victims, nor between the victims and each other,\u201d Ms Tisch said.<\/p>\n

Mr Mamdani described the stabbings as \u201chorrifying\u201d, adding that \u201cthese hateful and despicable attacks have no place in our city\u201d. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two people were stabbed in separate attacks in New York City‘s Manhattan on Thursday in incidents that police…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":304536,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[115384,75,84,83,9,24,63,7018,7980,618],"class_list":["post-304535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-foreign-desk-team","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-standard","tag-story","tag-us"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304535","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=304535"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304535\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/304536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=304535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=304535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=304535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
