Story summary

On October 21, 2026, Anna Mochalova, a 32-year-old woman, allegedly stalked and stabbed Rabbi Yosef, who was wearing traditional Orthodox Jewish attire, with a syringe on West 47th Street in Manhattan's Diamond District. Two days later, Rabbi Yosef defiantly returned to the scene of the attack, undeterred by the incident, continuing his outreach work. Mochalova was arrested on October 25 and charged with multiple counts including assault, menacing, aggravated harassment, and criminal possession of a weapon as hate crimes. She is accused of targeting two Jewish men within minutes of each other based on their perceived ethnicity; in the second attack, she allegedly told another man to "run away" before encountering someone who identified as Muslim, sparing him from further harassment. Mochalova has been charged with federal hate crime charges as well.
