NYPD arrests teen for threatening to kill Jewish kids in Brooklyn
A New York City teen has been arrested and charged with hate crime and aggravated harassment, making terrorist threats and threatening mass harm after announcing his intention to kill Jewish children in Brooklyn, N.Y., the NYPD said on Tuesday.
In a video chat recording shared on social media by New York City Councilwoman Inna Vernikov, 18-year-old Eslam Alsaedi said, “If I see Jewish people in the U.S.A., I swear to G-d I’ve got to kill them. I try to kill kids. You know the kids for the Jewish people? I try to kill them.”
In the video, Alsaedi said he lives in Harlem and wanted to go to Brooklyn because he reportedly heard somebody say a lot of Jews live there. “I want big building, a lot of Jewish people, a whole school with kids,” he said.
