The New York Police Department has arrested a second suspect in connection to an attack on a Jewish man near Time Square last week.
Faisal Elezzi, 25, of Staten Island, was arrested on Monday and charged with three hate crimes, the New York Post reported. Another man, Waseem Awawdeh, was arrested and charged in the attack last week.
The men are accused of attacking 29-year-old Joseph Borgen, who was on his way to a pro-Israel rally on Thursday when he was attacked.
Video shows Borgen on the ground in the middle of the street as men attacked him.
Borgen told CBS New York that he was maced, kicked, punched, and hit with crutches and a flag, and police said the attackers also used an antisemitic slur.
