Illegal Migrant Charged with Stabbing Rabbi in Boston
Egyptian national Khaled Awad allegedly stabbed the rabbi eight times.
An Egyptian migrant in the country illegally is accused of stabbing a rabbi eight times, as incidents of anti-semitic violence continue to rise across the country.
“Awad, 24, of Brighton, was arrested shortly after the attack outside the Shaloh House on Chestnut Hill Avenue,” CBS Boston reported. “Boston Police said he was armed with a knife and gun. He’s charged with assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon and assault and battery on a police officer.”
“Investigators said Awad came up to Rabbi Noginski Thursday afternoon, pointed a gun at him, and told him to give him the keys to a school van,” the local CBS station reported.
“The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency revealed to Fox News that Awad first entered the United States on an F-1 student visa in August 2019,” Breitbart reported. “Awad, an ICE spokesperson confirmed, did not stay enrolled in college courses and thus lost his legal visa status in May 2021.”
