A man suspected of stabbing five people who were celebrating Hanukkah at a rabbi’s home north of New York City was arraigned on Dec. 29, as New York’s governor described the attack as “domestic terrorism.”
Grafton Thomas, the 37-year-old suspect, was arrested in New York City within hours of the stabbing rampage that occurred in the Orthodox Jewish community of Monsey, New York, late on Dec. 28. Prosecutors said Thomas, who attempted to flee the small town by car, had blood all over his clothing and smelled of bleach when officers stopped him.
