NEW YORK (VINnews) — A man charged in an antisemitic stabbing in Brooklyn last December was arraigned and released on bail Tuesday, according to court documents reported by The Times of Israel.

Armani Charles, 28, allegedly stabbed a Jewish man in the chest near the Chabad movement’s world headquarters and made antisemitic remarks during the attack. The victim was treated at a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. Video captured part of the incident.

The victim later told authorities that Charles said, “I’m going to kill Jewish people,” and, “We wouldn’t be in this mess if the Holocaust had happened.”

Charles pleaded not guilty and was released after posting at least $50,000 in bail. He faces 14 charges, including assault with intent to cause serious injury, menacing, criminal possession of a weapon, and aggravated harassment based on race or religion. Six of the charges are classified as hate crimes.
