Surveillance footage shows the driver revving his engine and mounting the curb as he swerved towards Orthodox Jews near the Mesivta Nachlas Yakov School in Canarsie around 11:25 a.m.

Police identified the alleged attacker as 58-year-old Asghar Ali, a Pakistani immigrant and livery cab driver with a history of mental illness. The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the incident, the New York Post reported.

Ali faces multiple charges, including attempted murder, attempted assault, and hate crimes. Authorities do not believe the attack was terror-related and have no evidence linking him to radical groups.

The driver allegedly first tried to hit a student on the corner, then drove around the block and targeted more students and a rabbi standing outside the school. No one was injured in the attack.

Members of the local Shomrim Safety Patrol were able to track down Ali and alert police after he stopped at a nearby Dunkin’ Donuts. He was taken into custody and transferred to a hospital for evaluation.

The incident has caused concern in the Jewish community, with one Shomrim coordinator stating they were glad to apprehend the individual “especially with this antisemitic, anti-Jewish climate that’s out there.”
