(NY Post) The anti-Israel agitator who wore a Hezbollah t-shirt and a mask while threatening a Jewish man on a Manhattan train was slapped with a hate crime charge on Wednesday, police said.
Christopher Husary, 37, was charged with an attempted hate crime and aggravated harassment for the June 10 verbal attack, where he allegedly spouted antisemitic vitriol at White Plains lawyer Joshua Savitt.
The disturbing run-in unfolded as Savitt, 35, was on his way home after attending a Manhattan exhibit memorializing the victims of the deadly Oct. 7 Nova Music Festival attack when he noticed two people vandalizing the train car near Union Square.
“Free Gaza,” they allegedly spray painted, leading Savitt to snap their photo.
The vandals then confronted him and called him a “Zionist,” police said at the time.
