The anti-Semitic attack is now being investigated by the New York Police Department’s Hate Crimes Task Force, the report said, adding that police claim that no evidence exists to suggest that the incident was tied to terrorism.
The report said that Ali faces more than a dozen criminal charges, including attempted murder, attempted assault, and hate crimes charges.
