NEW YORK: New York police are investigating a possible hate crime after a car crashed into an Orthodox Jewish center on Wednesday, the city’s police commissioner said.
Officers arrested a man after he repeatedly drove into the rear door of the Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters in Brooklyn, New York Police Commissionner Jessica Tisch told reporters Wednesday.
Footage shared online shows the driver ram into the door of the building, before he reverses and plows into it again.
No injuries were reported, Tisch said.
The police has “significantly increased security” around places of worship, including counter terror and bomb squad deployments, she added.
