HIKIND PRAISES NYPD IN BROOKLYN HATE CRIME BUST

Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) had high praise for the NYPD for their immediate and professional response in arresting a teenager who threatened and attacked a Jewish subway rider on Monday. Stephan Stowe, 17, was charged with harassment after telling the rider, “They should have killed all of you,” and grabbing the victim’s cell phone.

Today, Stowe was arraigned on eight charges, including grand larceny, which was charged as a hate crime, resisting arrest and harassment.
“There is no place in our city for hate—it’s as simple as that,” said the Assemblyman. “The NYPD acted quickly and efficiently in dealing with this disgusting incident. We should all be grateful for their presence and their dedication.”
