March 4 (UPI) -- Federal prosecutors have arrested and charged a 36-year-old New Jersey man over allegations of repeatedly ramming his vehicle into a Brooklyn synagogue in late January.
Dan Sohail of Carteret, N.J., was taken into federal custody Monday and was scheduled to be arraigned that afternoon in an Eastern District of New York courtroom.
The incident occurred the night of Jan. 28 at the global headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, a branch of Hasidic Judaism, located at 770 Eastern Parkway in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn.
Dozens of people were in the building for an event marking the death anniversary of the movement's leader when a vehicle rammed the headquarters' side entrance several times, causing damage to the doors.
