A man attacked a Hanukkah celebration at a rabbi\u2019s home north of New York City late Saturday, stabbing and wounding five people before fleeing in a vehicle, police said. The attack appeared to be the latest in a string targeting Jews in the region, including a massacre at a kosher grocery store in New Jersey earlier this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police said the stabbings happened at around 10 p.m. in Monsey, one of several Hudson Valley towns that have seen an influx in large numbers of Hasidic Jews in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ramapo Police Chief Brad Weidel said hours later that New York City police had located a vehicle and possible suspect being sought in connection with the stabbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Anti-Defamation League of New York and New Jersey says it\u2019s also aware of reports and was at the scene in Monsey.Monsey is about an hour north of New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Orthodox Jewish Public Affairs Council for the Hudson Valley region tweeted reports that the stabbings took place at the house of a Hasidic rabbi while they were celebrating Hanukkah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several state and local officials have described the location of the stabbing as a synagogue. The rabbi\u2019s home is next door to a synagogue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
