Alert NYPD stop at least two men planning antisemitism attacks

Thank you New York Police Department!

But the threats are ongoing.

Echo report published in the Combat Antisemitism news:

New York City Mayor says the antisemitism threats are real.

Breaking - NYPD arrest Matthew Mahrer, age 22 and Christopher Brown, age 21 at Penn Station after the men made threats to New York Synagogues. The men, one wearing a swastika armband, were in possession of firearm, 30 rounds of ammunition, and a hunting knife. (Maine Writer: It is impossible to understand how any 22 year old, and 21 year old and (scroll) 18 year old could develop such unjustified aggressive feelings against a group of innocent people who almost certainly never did them any harm.)

Stop Antisemitism

Law enforcement authorities in New York City detected and thwarted a “developing threat to the Jewish community” over the weekend.

According to a CNN report, threats began appearing on a Twitter account on Nov. 12 and were traced on Friday to a computer at a veterinary clinic where one of the suspects worked.

“By early Saturday, the NYPD’s exhaustive intelligence-gathering led to the arrest by sharp-eyed MTA police officers of two individuals entering Penn Station, in Manhattan, and the seizures of a large hunting knife, an illegal Glock 17 firearm and 30-round magazine, and several other items,” New York City Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell stated.

“As a joint investigation now continues to establish a strong prosecution, Police Department commanders are strategically deploying assets at sensitive locations throughout New York City,” she added.

The arrested men were identified as Christopher Brown, 21, of Aquebogue, New York, and Matthew Mahrer, 22, of Manhattan.

Brown is being charged with making a terroristic threat, aggravated harassment, and criminal possession of a weapon, and Mahrer faces a single charge of criminal possession of a weapon.

Last week, an 18-year-old New Jersey man, Omar Alkattoul, was arrested in connection with the publication of an online manifesto containing threats to attack a synagogue and Jews.
