NYC antisemitic incidents nearly triple despite other crimes reaching record lows
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Antisemitic incidents in New York City nearly tripled in January as other crimes hit record lows, according to police data released on Tuesday.
Anti-Jewish hate crimes soared 182%, with 31 reported incidents versus 11 in January 2025, the NYPD said. These incidents accounted for more than half of all hate crime in January, which stood at 56 — an increase of 152% over the same period last year.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for the New York and New Jersey region called the 182% spike “staggering” in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“From swastikas at a playground in Boro Park to a car ramming at Chabad headquarters in Crown Heights, the Jewish community in NYC is very much on edge,” said Scott Richman, ADL regional director. “In the face of this, we urge Mayor Mamdani to quickly name the next head of the Mayor’s Office to Combat Antisemitism and to appoint a leader who will both represent this diverse Jewish community and confront ALL forms of antisemitism.”

While hate crime incidents skyrocketed, the NYPD reported that shooting incidents, shooting victims and murders all hit record lows, marking what the NYPD described as “the safest January ever” in these categories.
The city saw 40 shooting incidents and 47 shooting victims, compared to the previous all-time lows of 50 and 56, set in 2025 and 2019, respectively, the data shows. Murders fell to 12, breaking the previous record of 22 set in 2018 and 2022.
Overall crime in the city dropped 6.7%, with declines in burglary, robbery, auto theft, grand larceny and felony assault, according to the data.
MAMDANI PLEDGED TO FIGHT FOR ALL BUT SCRAPPED ORDER JEWISH STUDENTS SAY PROTECTED THEM
Former Mayor Eric Adams signed an executive order before leaving office that tied the city’s definition of antisemitism to that of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), which labeled antisemitism as “hatred toward Jews.” The IHRA provides examples of what falls under its definition, including “[d]enying the Jewish people their right to self-determination,” and “[a]pplying double standards by requiring of [Israel] a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.

Mamdani, however, rescinded the adoption on Jan. 1, his first day serving as mayor.

Bodycam footage shows moments police respond to Pawtucket shooting
Police bodycam footage shows the moments officers arrived to the scene of a deadly mass shooting in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
The shooting on Feb. 16 at the Dennis M. Lynch Arena killed Rhonda Dorgan and Aidan Dorgan, the ex-wife and son of the shooter, who died by suicide.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or chat live at 988lifeline.org. You can also visit SpeakingOfSuicide.com/resources for additional support.
Gerald Dorgan, Rhonda’s father, died from his injuries this week. His wife, Linda Dorgan, and family friend Thomas Geruso remain hospitalized.
Around five minutes after the first officer arrives, he beings helping paramedics with a man who identifies himself as Aidan. Twelve minutes in, Aidan Dorgan is transported to the hospital, where he would later die from his injuries.
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline by calling 1-800-799-SAFE (7233), visiting www.thehotline.org or texting LOVEIS to 22522.
For the last 10 minutes of the footage, the officer then begins helping paramedics transport the other three gunshot victims.
The video ends with police prepping witness interviews.
The shooting rocked the Pawtucket community. Chris Librizzi, head coach of the Blackstone Valley Schools hockey team impacted by the shooting, said the players and coaching staff “are devastated over the events that took place at Lynch Arena on Monday and intimately affected one of our teammates.”
As authorities continue investigating the shooting in Pawtucket, three patients remain in critical condition.
“We will lean on each other and support one another, as we have always done as a team,” he added.
Pawtucket police said two handguns were found at the scene after the shooting, a Sig Sauer P226 and Glock. Other weapons have been seized at the suspect’s storage unit in Maine.
Investigators continue reviewing all video evidence from before, during and after the shooting, including surveillance footage from the Dennis M. Lynch Arena, police body-worn camera footage and other records — a high school sports livestream captured the shooting from a distance — police said.
