An Israeli yeshiva student was stabbed in the abdomen near Eastern Parkway and Kingston Avenue in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, about 2 a.m. on August 10, 2024. Police and prosecutors said Vincent Sumpter, 22, shouted "Free Palestine" before stabbing Yechiel Dabrowskin near the Chabad-Lubavitch headquarters. Dabrowskin underwent abdominal surgery and survived.

Bystanders chased Sumpter and held him until New York Police Department officers arrived and arrested him. Surveillance footage shows a sidewalk confrontation followed by people running, with a second camera angle showing the pursuit from across the street.

Sumpter was charged with attempted murder and assault as hate crimes, pleaded not guilty at arraignment and remained in custody with bail set at $100,000 cash or $250,000 bond.

The maniac who allegedly shouted, “Free Palestine!” before viciously stabbing a Jewish man in the stomach Saturday has been ordered held on $100,000 cash bail on multiple hate-crime charges.

Vincent Sumpter, 22, of Brooklyn was reportedly “looking for trouble” when he approached Yechiel Dabrowskin around 2 a.m. near the Chabad Headquarters in Crown Heights, yelling antisemitic slurs and asking, “Do you want to die?” before lashing out with his blade.

“It’s very, very painful,” Dabrowskin told Israel’s Kan 11 News of his wounds after the attack. “I had internal bleeding, but thank God I had a miracle.”

Dabrowskin said the knife came “very close to my heart.’’

Sumpter, who law-enforcement sources said has no prior criminal record in New York City, faces a slew of second- and third-degree assault and menacing charges in the attack, with four of the counts to be prosecuted as hate crimes.

So far this year, 229 antisemitic hate crimes have been reported to the NYPD through last Sunday, according to NYPD data.

By that time last year, 126 such incidents were reported.

The notable rise comes after the Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel where Hamas killed 1,200 people and kidnapped more than 200, leading the Jewish state to launch a military campaign in Gaza.

Mark Treygar, the CEO of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, condemned the latest instance of violence against Jewish city dwellers.

He called it an “abhorrent and abominable attack” and stressed the assault shouldn’t be seen as an isolated incident.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said the stabbing is “deeply disturbing and completely unacceptable.

I'm glad they caught the punk. I was expecting him to outrun the heftier dudes who were chasing him. But the antisemite was toting a silly backpack.
