The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force and Manhattan Shomrim are investigating the incident as a potential hate crime. The victim was transported to Bellevue Hospital, where his condition was reported as stable. Manhattan Shomrim is appealing for help in identifying the woman involved, who is believed to be in her 30s. Eyewitnesses claim the woman had previously walked past other pedestrians without attacking them before the stabbing. The attacker reportedly used a syringe or needle to stab the Jewish man, who was dressed in a distinctly religious manner.",
