A Bronx man has been charged with multiple hate crimes after allegedly disrupting Shabbat services at Central Synagogue in Manhattan. Authorities said he struck a congregant and attacked a member of the synagogue’s security team, making the case significant because it concerns alleged violence targeting Jewish worshippers.

New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the incident occurred on Friday at the synagogue on Lexington Avenue. The available report does not specify the suspect’s name, exact charges or the extent of any injuries.
