Skiboky Stora was charged with assault, stalking and harassment in a series of “anti-female, anti-white, and antisemitic incidents.”
The Manhattan district attorney’s office accused a man on Tuesday of attacking several women on the streets of New York City in recent months.
Skiboky Stora, 40, of Brooklyn, was indicted on charges of assault, stalking and aggravated harassment as a hate crime in a series of “anti-female, anti-white, and antisemitic incidents,” District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement.
“Stora allegedly committed a series of hate-motivated incidents against several individuals based on their perceived gender, race and religion,” Bragg said. “Much of what defines our city is respect and acceptance of all people. Nobody should have to fear for their safety because of their identity.”
Bragg’s office detailed multiple incidents allegedly involving Stora. On Sept. 20, Stora elbowed a white 17-year-old in the neck, saying, “You people think you can do whatever the f— you want,” according to Tuesday’s statement. He elbowed a 37-year-old woman in October.
Another incident involved a white Jewish couple, both 28, walking their dog in Union Square on November 18. The couple saw Stora tearing down photos of kidnapped Israeli hostages, and the wife took a photo of him. Stora noticed them and followed them around, shouting, “F— you, white boy,” and “die, Jews, die!” according to the DA’s office.
