A pro-Palestine protester accused of threatening a straphanger on a Manhattan train over the summer was hit with hate crime charges, authorities confirmed.
Police have been searching for the suspect — identified as 37-year-old Christopher Husary — since the June 10 incident, first reported by the New York Post, for allegedly threatening a Jewish man in a Manhattan subway.
The man snapped a photo of the vandal when, police allege, Husary threatened the victim — demanding that he delete the photograph. He also called the victim a “Zionist.” Husary was tracked down in California by the Fugitive Regional Task Force and extradited back to New York on Nov. 6.
