The victims included a 57-year-old Asian man and a 50-year-old man wearing a yarmulke who had just left a synagogue; both are reported to be in stable condition. Witnesses observed Morales walking erratically and shouting &#8220;Islam&#8221; before his arrest. The police responded swiftly, rescuing Morales from an apartment with the help of officers and volunteers. Witness testimony indicates Morales attempted to appear uninvolved during the attacks, and he was taken into custody after barricading himself inside an apartment.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Two people were stabbed in New York City Friday, and police are investigating whether it was a hate crime.<\/p>\n<p>Raul Morales, 51, was arrested in the two incidents, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/2-men-injured-stabbings-central-park-police-sources-say-rcna588973\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NBC News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDetectives are continuing to work the case and determine motive, but according to victim and witness statements, Morales yelled \u2018Allahu Akbar\u2019 during both attacks,\u201d Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a statement. \u201cThe NYPD is currently evaluating whether this is a potential hate crime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The phrase means \u201cGod is the Greatest\u201d in Arabic and is often associated with Islamic terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Tisch said \u201cthe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hadi-matar-identified-as-suspect-in-stabbing-of-islam-critic-salman-rushdie\/\" title=\"&quot;Hadi Matar&quot; Identified as Suspect in Stabbing of Islam Critic Salman Rushdie\">initial investigation suggests<\/a> that mental health may have been a factor,\u201d according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/07\/23\/us-news\/2-men-stabbed-near-central-park-in-unprovoked-attack-sources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The stabbings began when a 57-year-old Asian man was stabbed in the back with a knife at about 1:30 p.m., police and the sources said.<\/p>\n<p>Not long after that, a 50-year-old man wearing a yarmulke was stabbed in the torso with a screwdriver after leaving a synagogue.
