NEW YORK — A man wounded in the Hanukkah stabbings north of New York City may have permanent brain damage and be partially paralyzed for the rest of his life, his family said.
Neumann's family released the photograph for the world and “the Jewish community to understand the gravity of hate," Yossi Gestetner, the council's co-founder, said in an interview. Neumann has seven children.The 18-inch machete used in the attack penetrated Neumann's skull, the statement said, adding that Neumann's “right arm has been shattered.”
The statement also called on Jewish people around the world to share their own experiences with anti-Semitism on social media using the hashtag #MeJew. Federal prosecutors have charged Grafton Thomas, 37, with five federal counts of obstructing the free exercise of religious beliefs by attempting to kill with a dangerous weapon. He also has pleaded not guilty to five state counts of attempted murder and one count of burglary.
