The NYPD is searching for an anti-Israel protester who took control of a New York subway car, demanding that “Zionists” raise their hands before stating, “this is your chance to get out.”
A wanted poster released on Wednesday urges New Yorkers to help identify the man so he can be arrested on a coercion charge.
“The subject chanted ‘Raise your hands if you’re a Zionist,’” the poster states, “Repeat after me, this is your chance to get out!”
This incident occurred the same night a group of anti-Israel protesters swarmed a downtown Manhattan exhibit commemorating the victims of the Nova music festival, who were killed and kidnapped on October 7.
In response to this incident and a series of other antisemitic protests across the city, Jewish leaders told The Post that New York should reinstate a ban on protesters wearing masks. Governor Kathy Hochul is reportedly considering reinstating the law, which was repealed in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
