Multiple people were stabbed Saturday night at a synagogue in New York's Rockland County, CBS New York reports. At least five people were stabbed, according to the Clarkstown Police Department.
CBS New York reports at least four people were taken to the hospital. Two of them were taken to Westchester Medical's trauma center with serious injuries.
The attack occurred during a Hanukkah celebration at Rabbi Rottenberg's Shul in Monsey, New York. Video outside the shul posted to social media shows a large police and medical personnel presence.

The suspect fled the scene and is still at large, according to The New York Times.
"I am deeply disturbed by the situation unfolding in Monsey, New York tonight," NY Attorney General Letitia James tweeted Saturday night. "There is zero tolerance for acts of hate of any kind and we will continue to monitor this horrific situation. I stand with the Jewish community tonight and every night."
"Horrific," NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted. "So many Jewish families in our city have close ties to Monsey. We cannot overstate the fear people are feeling right now. I've spoken to longtime friends who, for the first time in their lives, are fearful to show outward signs of their Jewish faith."
"We will NOT allow this to become the new normal," the mayor added. "We'll use every tool we have to stop these attacks once and for all. The NYPD has deployed a visible and growing presence around Jewish houses of worship on the streets in communities like Williamsburg, Crown Heights and Boro Park."
"Being Jewish should not mean living in fear. These reports are heartbreaking and horrifying," New York City comptroller Scott Stringer said on Twitter. "I want to be very clear: we must redouble our efforts to keep our community safe in the face of rising anti-Semitism."

There's been a growing amount of antisemitism in this country and as a jew it's attacks like this that make me afraid to live in it.

Sad that this happened. RIP to all the victims and fuck the antisemites who murdered them.

Yeah, and in neighboring cities like Jersey City as well. There was a shootout at a kosher deli a few weeks ago.

It's sick.

Synagogues usually have super beefed up security during major events. Wonder if this was a knife attack and not a mass shooting because of that.

I've only been to New York twice in my entire life. And the last time was over 10 years ago and it was only a layover in the airport. Before that I explored the city but it was like 1990 or something

If the city is full of nazis I didnt realize

It doesn't mention any deaths, hopefully that means all the victims will make it through this. I really hope they nail the rat bastard who did this.

Anti-Semitism is sadly on the rise, because we stopped treating Nazis the way they deserve to be treated.

As NY Jew, I'm disgusted. All of these increasing attacks have been enabled by apathy, hate, and a deplorable segment of the public.

Knife the size of a broomstick

You mean a sword?

^ other articles are saying that it was a machete

and this is apparently the sixth anti-Semitic incident in NYC this week:

Are you trying to rebrand the Black Hebrew Israelites as black white supremacists?

Care to elaborate?

Because despite the recent uptick in anti-semitic attacks by black supremacists in the North Eastern United States, anti-semitic attacks are still the domain of white supremacist nazis of course. See:

Fucking pussies, I swear. I hope by the time they end up in prison that their fellow inmates drag them by their innards across the recreational yard. Lets see how brave they can handle themselves without being behind a weapon.

Oh yeah, let's kill defenseless church attendants instead of putting ourselves in danger by being in the frontlines.

^ fwiw, the church shooter was killed by members of the congregation who were armed

but unfortunately, that was only after they had already shot two other people. one of them died but I'm not sure about the other
