Our (Viewers Corner News) correspondent in New York City learned that Mr Grafton Thomas has been indicted on hate crimes by a federal grand jury. The suspect was accused of stabbing five people with a machete during a Hanukkah celebration in New York City. According to the report, a blood-stained 18-inch (45-centimeter) machete was found in Grafton Thomas’ car, along with a knife smeared with dried blood and hair. Also Thomas had handwritten journals containing anti-Semitic references and he recently used his phone to search information about Hitler and the location of synagogues. The indictment charges Grafton Thomas with five counts each for attempting to kill victims based on their religion and obstructing the free exercise of religious beliefs by attempting to kill with a dangerous weapon. Thomas also faces state charges for attacking the home of a rabbi in Monsey (New York) on 28 December. He is being held without bail on the federal charges.
