Jews were targeted in 39 hate crimes in New York City last month, according to NYPD data.
There were more antisemitic crimes than hate incidents targeting all other groups combined, like nearly every other month.
The number of antisemitic crimes amounted to 58% of the total 67 hate crimes reported to police last month.
Last month’s total for antisemitic crimes was the same as March 2024.
There have been 85 antisemitic crimes reported to police in the first three months of this year, amounting to around one incident every 26 hours. Jewish security officials say many more antisemitic crimes likely go unreported.
The NYPD figures are preliminary and subject to change if, for example, an incident that had appeared discriminatory turns out to have had other motivations.
Hate crimes incidents range from physical assaults to property damage and harassment.
