Grafton E. Thomas was identified as the suspect in the stabbing attack of five people inside the home of a New York City-area rabbi during a Hanukkah celebration on Saturday night, in what Gov. Andrew Cuomo described as an act of domestic terrorism.

A photo of Thomas was released by The Associated Press on Sunday, showing him being escorted by officers at a facility in Ramapo, New York, while he is seen clad in a white jumpsuit.
