A Jewish man is charged with attempted murder and hate crimes in connection with a monthslong harassment and violence campaign against a neighbor who is Muslim, authorities said.
Izak Kadosh, of Brooklyn, is charged with more than 40 counts, including second-degree attempted murder, second-degree attempted murder as a hate crime, first-degree assault as a hate crime, second-degree burglary and second-degree burglary as a hate crime, according to a criminal complaint from the Brooklyn district attorney’s office.
The motivation behind Kadosh’s attacks is his religious and ethnic differences with his neighbor, according to the complaint.
Kadosh told his neighbor that he would break into his apartment and kill him because Kadosh is Jewish and his neighbor is Muslim, the complaint says.
Kadosh was arrested Saturday, two days after he was accused of breaking into his neighbor’s apartment, destroying items inside, covering walls with blue paint and oil and smearing a Quran with feces, the complaint said.
