A suspect has been ‘located’ and detained by NYPD in Harlem late Saturday night in the mass stabbing attack at the home of rabbi and attempted attack at the next door synagogue earlier Saturday evening in the town of Monsey in Rockland County, New York. The suspect vehicle was stopped near the George Washington Bridge, according to reports of police scanner listeners.
Several people were reportedly wounded in the attack, with two in critical condition. There are unconfirmed reports there was more than one attacker, but those appear to be untrue at this time.

I want to clarify. Word police used was “located.” No official arrest. It’s important to clarify. @lohud

And a report describing the attack, “Someone on the scene: The perpetrator came into the rabbi’s house, started stabbing people. Someone took a small table, threw it at him & chased him out. He ran next door to the synagogue, but they blocked the door & he couldn’t get in. He turned around & ran, jumped into a car.”
