Police arrested one man on several charges, including assault as a hate crime, and are searching for other suspects. Congressional lawmakers condemned the recent violence, saying it was deeply troubling. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), who represents parts of Brooklyn and Queens, said in a tweet: “The dramatic rise of anti-Semitic attacks in NYC and throughout the country is deeply disturbing and unacceptable. We will crush intolerance whenever and wherever it is found.”“The kind of anti-Semitic attacks, like those reported over the last week, are disturbing and wrong,” Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), tweeted Friday. Greenblatt, of the Anti-Defamation League, urged more elected officials to condemn antisemitic attacks, which he argued would help calm tensions and reduce violence.
