New York Assemblyman Compares Attack at Chabad HQ to Jerusalem Synagogue Atrocity, as Stabbing Victim’s Condition Improves  Rosenblatt was stabbed in the left side of his head after the knife-wielding assailant, Calvin Peters, a 50 year-old African-American man, went on a rampage at the building on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, New York. Peters was shot dead by a police officer after refusing to surrender his knife.  It is not yet clear whether today’s attack will be classified as a hate crime, although several witnesses reported hearing Peters shouting “Kill the Jews!”
New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind compared today’s attack to last month’s atrocity at a synagogue in the Har Nof neighborhood in Jerusalem, which claimed the lives of four Jewish worshippers and an Israeli Druze policeman.
