NYPD Says Hate Crimes Skyrocket in New York City, Including 69% Rise in Attacks on Jews

Through June 27 of this year, antisemitic assaults rose from to 113 from 67 in the same period of 2020, according to statistics cited by the New York Post.

Attacks on Blacks almost doubled over the past year, with 28 incidents.
