The New York Police Department has arrested 51-year-old Raul Morales in connection with two non-fatal stabbings on Manhattan's Upper West Side that authorities are investigating as potential hate crimes. [1] Morales is accused of stabbing an Asian man and a Jewish man in separate incidents. [1]
According to preliminary investigations, Morales shouted the Arabic phrase "Allahu Akbar" during both attacks. [1] The two stabbing incidents occurred approximately two blocks apart during daytime hours. [1] Both victims were transported to hospitals and are expected to survive. [1]
