Police investigating whether bias motivated NYC stabbing spree
A man was arrested in New York City after allegedly stabbing two men—identified as Asian and Jewish—in separate nonfatal attacks on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The suspect reportedly yelled 'Allahu Akbar' during the incidents, prompting police to investigate as possible hate crimes, though mental health may also be a factor.
