Grafton Thomas Biography – Wiki

Grafton Thomas is identified as the suspect of the Monsey stabbing attack. He is arrested after a masked, machete-wielding man barged into a Hanukkah celebration and stabbed five people at a rabbi’s home in Monsey, New York, on Saturday evening, intensifying fears anti-Semitic violence after a spate of incidents last week.
Some media outlets reported the suspect’s name as Thomas Grafton or Thomas E. Grafton, but public records reveal it to be Grafton E. Thomas. He is scheduled to be arraigned on five counts of attempted murder and one count of burglary at a Rockland County courthouse on Sunday.


“There is no tolerance for hate acts of any kind and we will continue to monitor this terrible situation,” said James.
“I stand with the Jewish community tonight and every night.”
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called the attack “terrible.”
“So many Jewish families in our city have close relationships with Monsey. We cannot overstate the fear people are currently feeling, ”he wrote on Twitter.


Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also expressed his solidarity with the victims in his opening speeches at his weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday. “Israel fully condemns the recent anti-Semitic incidents and brutal attack in the middle of Hanukkah at the rabbi’s house in Monsey, New York,” he said. “We will work with the local authorities in every way to help eliminate this phenomenon. We offer our help to all countries. ”
The attack comes after at least seven other anti-Semitic incidents were reported in New York City this week, prompting the New York City Police Department to increase the number of officers in predominantly Jewish areas. The stabbings also come less than a month after four people were killed in a “targeted” shooting at a Jersey City kosher supermarket that investigators believe was fueled by a “hatred of the Jewish people.”
