Manhattan Suspect Arrested After Two Stabbings Under Hate Crime Investigation
Raul Morales, 51, was arrested after stabbing two men—an Asian man and a Jewish man—on Manhattan's Upper West Side in separate attacks. Witnesses reported Morales shouted "Allahu Akbar" during the assaults, prompting the NYPD to investigate potential hate crime motives. Both victims were hospitalized in stable condition. Authorities found no known connection between Morales and the victims or between the victims themselves. While Morales has no known mental health history, investigators are considering mental health as a possible factor.
