A Hasidic man from Crown Heights was stabbed in the back in Manhattan's Diamond District on Wednesday afternoon by a woman who then fled the scene. The attack occurred around 5:30 PM on a busy street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, with witnesses and security footage showing the suspect, described as a woman in her 30s, approaching the victim from behind and stabbing him with an object believed to be a needle or syringe. The victim, who was able to continue walking after the assault, was taken to the hospital in stable condition. The New York Police Department has launched an investigation into the incident, with authorities reportedly considering the possibility that it was an anti-Semitic hate crime due to the victim's religious identity. The suspect fled the area on foot, heading towards Sixth Avenue. The motive for the attack remains undetermined as the investigation continues.
