"I Want to Kill the Jew!": Cops Gun Down Synagogue Student's Stabber
NYPD shot and killed a man early this morning after he allegedly stabbed a student praying in a Brooklyn synagogue in the neck with a knife. "I will kill the Jew! I want to kill the Jew!" one witness claimed hearing the assailant scream before attacking the student.
Police from the NYPD's anti-terrorism unit arrived at the Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters in Crown Heights around 1:45 a.m. Tuesday, the New York Daily News reports. Twenty-two-year-old Levi Rosenviat was praying when he was reportedly stabbed by Calvin Peters, 49.
In cell phone video that first surfaced on Israeli news site 0404, police can be seen, their guns trained on Peters, ordering the suspect to put down the knife. Peters initially complies, but picks the knife back up. "Drop the fucking knife!" cops yell before eventually firing one shot and hitting Peters—he died at Kings County Hospital hours later. Rosenviat is currently in stable condition.
