A man drove his car into a famous Jewish building in Brooklyn, New York. This happened on a special day for the Jewish community. The driver hit the building many times with his car. No one got hurt, but the police are looking into it as a possible hate crime. The man was caught right after the incident. He told the police that it was an accident. The police checked his car and found no weapons or bombs. The man was wearing a jacket, shorts, and boots when he got out of the car. He yelled to someone that the car had slipped. This is not the first time something like this has happened. There have been other attacks on Jewish people in Brooklyn and around the world. Just last month, a man was arrested for making antisemitic remarks and stabbing someone. Two teenagers were also caught for painting swastikas at a playground.
The building that was hit is very important to the Jewish community. It was built in 1940 and is known all over the world. The day of the incident was also the 75th anniversary of a special leader being chosen for the community. The head of the building said that the driver asked some students about a gathering. The students told him that it was happening that night and the next day. The mayor of New York said that any threat to a Jewish place of worship is taken seriously. The police have increased security at all places of worship in the city.
