Boston authorities are looking into the brutal stabbing of a Boston rabbi as a possible hate crime as the alleged assailant was arraigned on assault charges.
Khaled Awad, 24, appeared in Brighton District Church on Friday and was charged with assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon and assault and battery on an officer and will be held without bail until a dangerousness hearing on July 8.
Awad allegedly stabbed Rabbi Shlomo Noginksi eight times on the street outside Shaloh House, a Jewish Day School and synagogue on Chestnut Hill Avenue in Brighton, at around 1.19pm on Thursday afternoon.
