Suspect arrested during ‘incident’ outside Israel’s NY consulate

A suspect was arrested during an incident outside Israel’s consulate in New York, Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nachshon says.

Nachshon says the suspect was given over to local authorities following his arrest.

The consulate, as well as Israel’s Mission to the UN and Defense Ministry offices, which are all in the same building in mid-town Manhattan, was put on lockdown as a result of the incident, with employees prohibited from exiting the facility.
