A 25-year-old man with a criminal history was arrested for shooting BB pellets at a Jewish father and son outside a kosher Staten Island market.
A 25-year-old man with a criminal history was arrested and charged with a hate crime for allegedly firing BB pellets at a Jewish father and son outside a kosher Staten Island market over the weekend, police announced Tuesday.
Police began canvassing for Kish’s mustang as soon as the crime was reported, Detective bureau chief Michael Baldassano said Tuesday. Kish was pulled over about an hour into the search, ID’d and released. “A father and son, simply going to the store to buy groceries for their families, like I did the day before in my neighborhood, were shot at by someone who was acting — we believe and we will allege in court — out of hatred,” Staten Island District Attorney Michael McMahon said at a press conference Tuesday.
There have been 278 reported anti-Semitic attacks this year, a 52.7% increase from the same period last year, NYPD data shows.
