Hate crime unit probes threats against NYC mayoral hopeful Mamdani

New York City mayor Zahran Mamdani said on Thursday that the New York City Police Unit (NYPD) has been investigating a threat to the car’s peaks that were made against him, although a car was not having a car.

“After multiple threats of killing and racist messages, the association’s office, Mamadani, is participating in a continuous investigation by the New York Police Crime Squad.” “Although Zohran does not have a car, the language of violence and defined for what appears to be a worrying frequent and we take all precautions.

“Although this is a sad fact, it is not surprising after millions of dollars have been spent on stripping the Islamic discourse designed on division and hatred.” “Violence and racism should not have a place in our policy. Zahran is still focusing on the presentation of New York safe and affordable.”

Mamdani, who is competing to be the first Muslim mayor in New York City, was criticized by his competitors, including former New York Governor Andrew Como, because of his views on the Middle East policy, which reached a boiling point this week amid continuous strikes between Israel and Iran.

During a modern municipality discussion, Mamdani said, “Israel has the right to exist.”

But Mamdani refused to agree that Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish state “and even” as a country with equal rights. “

NYPD FOX News Digital told the police that the police received a report at 9:45 am on Wednesday from one of the callers, saying they had received four voice messages from an unknown individual on different dates, making hostile statements to Muslims a threat. The police did not say whether the person who reported the threats was Mamdani.

However, the ministry said that the fists have not been subjected to the matter and the investigation was still ongoing.

Despite the different political opinions, Como condemned the threats against his political opponent.

“This is a terrible threat to political violence against Mr. Mamdani. It is unacceptable – I strongly condemn these threats and any others like them,” said Como at X.

Another Democratic mayor, an observer in New York City, Brad Lander, has also condemned the threats against Mamdani.
“The heinous threats of Islamic violence against [Zohran Mamdani] Lander said: “They are dangerous and morally intended. I condemn this behavior to the maximum. Hate has no place in New York City,” Lander said.
