Police classified the incident as hate crimes.<\/p>\n<p>According to the police report, the first victim was a 26-year-old rabbi in traditional Hasidic dress. The Russian-speaking woman stopped him in the middle of the street. When the rabbi tried to leave, she followed him through the streets, jabbed him in the back with a syringe and ran off.<\/p>\n<p>Five minutes later, Mochalova attacked a second Jewish man, who wore a kippah and also spoke Russian. She shoved him several times and threatened him: \u201cGet out of here. I have a gun. I\u2019ll shoot you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Apologized to a Muslim man<\/p>\n<p>The woman then approached a third man and asked whether he was Jewish, police said. When he told her he was Muslim, she apologized and walked away.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, police tracked Mochalova down using surveillance camera footage and charged her with hate crimes. On Sunday, a court at a preliminary hearing set bail at $50,000 (about 1 million crowns). Her next court date is Thursday, Oct. 29.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\" style=\"margin-top:24px;font-size:14px;color:#888\">Around Prague, based on reporting by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novinky.cz\/clanek\/zahranicni-amerika-ruska-na-manhattanu-bodla-dva-zidy-do-zad-injekcni-strikackou-40605127\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">novinky.cz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>            \ud83d\udc4d 0<br \/>\n                        Share:<br \/>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/share\/url?url=https%3A%2F%2Faroundprague.cz%2Fen%2Fnews%2Fcrime%2Frussian-speaking-woman-in-new-york-jabs-two-jewish-men-with-a-syringe&amp;text=Russian-speaking+woman+in+New+York+jabs+two+Jewish+men+with+a+syringe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" style=\"text-decoration:none;border:1px solid #ddd;border-radius:20px;padding:6px 12px\">Telegram<\/a><br \/>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=Russian-speaking+woman+in+New+York+jabs+two+Jewish+men+with+a+syringe%20https%3A%2F%2Faroundprague.cz%2Fen%2Fnews%2Fcrime%2Frussian-speaking-woman-in-new-york-jabs-two-jewish-men-with-a-syringe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" style=\"text-decoration:none;border:1px solid #ddd;border-radius:20px;padding:6px 12px\">WhatsApp<\/a><br \/>\n            Copy link<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udccc Useful for life in Czechia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York police have arrested Anna Mochalova, who is accused of attacking two Jewish men in Manhattan: last&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":383580,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[75,84,83,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-383579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383579","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=383579"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383579\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/383580"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=383579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=383579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=383579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
