| Brooklyn woman arrested after alleged syringe attack on NYC rabbi and stabbing second Jewish man | |
| 2026-10-26 | |
Anna Mochalova, 32, was taken into custody Saturday and charged with multiple counts of assault and menacing, as well as aggravated harassment and criminal possession of a weapon, according to Fox News. "I can confirm the victim is a young man from Crown Heights whose family has deep roots in the neighborhood and is part of the Lubavitch community," said Yaacov Behrman, a liaison for Chabad Headquarters in Crown Heights, said about one of the victims. "We appreciate law enforcement's response. I understand they have a suspect in custody." The lawyer for the maniac who allegedly stabbed a rabbi and another Jewish man in two separate attacks just minutes apart in Midtown Manhattan claimed Sunday that her arrest was a case of mistaken identity. Mochalova targeted a man wearing a yarmulke two blocks just minutes after she allegedly stabbed the young rabbi, prosecutors said in Manhattan Criminal Court. Mochalova bumped into the man several times, causing a stinging sensation in his right arm, prosecutors alleged — before chillingly telling the man "run away from here. I have a gun. I’m going to shoot you," according to authorities. Prosecutors said the madwoman then turned to a third man, who was spared from her harassment because he told her he was Moslem. Assistant District Attorney Emily Hong said in court, "She selected both of her targets because she believed them to be Jewish." But Mochalova’s lawyer Lila Carpenter told the court that the alleged attacker had no prior arrests and is gainfully employed, arguing that "there may be an ID issue" by cops for her client. "These allegations are concerning. Whether they’re my client’s is a different story," Carpenter told Judge Linda Capitti. The judge set bail at $50,000, citing the seriousness of the allegations as well as surveillance video of the alleged attacks. Yitty, 31, a coordinator with the Manhattan Shomrim, told The Post via video call that the Jewish community is "happy" with the court’s decision. "You know, having her back outside is just a danger to everybody outside. She needs to get help," he said. Mochalova is due back in court on Oct. 29.
