TL;DR

A 46-year-old Bronx man, Larry Montes, was arrested and charged with multiple hate-crime counts after disrupting Shabbat services at Manhattan’s Central Synagogue, injuring a 63-year-old woman and head-butting a security guard as he was escorted out; prosecutors say he damaged synagogue property and spat at a congregant. The attack, condemned by city officials amid rising antisemitic incidents, led to two counts of assault as a hate crime and one count of criminal mischief as a hate crime, along with other charges.
