Fox News
A rabbi was reportedly stabbed multiple times Thursday outside a Boston Synagogue but is expected to recover.
The victim, Rabbi Shlomo Noginsky, was stabbed outside the Shaloh House, a synagogue and school that had a children's day camp in session at the time of the attack, ColLive.com reported. Noginsky, a father who moved to Boston from Israel to serve the city's Russian-speaking Jewish community, was sitting on the front steps of the building when the suspect approached him and drew a gun, the outlet said. The alleged attacker told Noginsky to take him to his car and attempted to force him inside, the outlet reported. The rabbi tried running across the street to a nearby park called Brighton Common and was stabbed multiple times in the arm. The suspect was taken into custody and the victim was taken to a hospital with non life-threatening wounds, police said. A photo circulating on social media purportedly showed the rabbi covered in blood. Fox News has not independently confirmed the authenticity of the photo.More Related News
