Jewish man arrested for swastikas, anti-Semitic calls
NEW YORK |
(Reuters) - A Jewish man was under
arrest on hate-crime charges on Monday, accused of making anti-Semitic
telephone calls to his mother and other elderly women and putting
swastikas on apartment doors, police said.A family business dispute drove David Haddad, 56, of Manhattan, who is Jewish, to make threatening phone calls to his mother, 80, and two other women, ages 87 and 78, a police source said.
"He threatened to kill the other individual on the phone as well as her relatives," said a police spokesman. "He said basically that all Jews should die and go to hell."
Haddad, who was charged with aggravated harassment as a hate crime, also was accused of taping notes with anti-Semitic symbols including swastikas on five apartment doors and in the hallway of a building in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan.
Haddad lives in Chelsea but police declined to say whether he targeted his own building.
