NYPD says Jews in city targeted in hate crime per day last month

Jews in New York City were the targets of 31 alleged hate crimes in January, averaging one incident per day, according to police data. These incidents made up more than half of all reported hate crimes last month, marking a significant increase compared to the same period last year, though slightly down from December. The city also saw bias incidents against other groups, including Asians, Black people, Muslims, and those targeted for their sexual orientation or age. Some high-profile cases included vandalism at a playground, an assault on a rabbi, and a car attack at a religious headquarters. City officials have responded with new initiatives and legislation aimed at combating antisemitism, while experts warn that many incidents may go unreported.
