The New York Police Department's Hate Crime Task Force is investigating a series of threats against Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic mayoral candidate in New York City. The investigation centers on multiple voicemails received at Mamdani's Assembly district office, which include anti-Muslim statements and a car bomb threat. The threats have been characterized as hate crimes, with police officials confirming the inquiry into the alleged bomb threat and other death threats. Mamdani's campaign confirmed the threats in a public release, prompting the NYPD to take action. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to identify the source of the threats and ensure the candidate's safety.
A New York City police officer (and multiple other victims) are dead tonight, thanks to a mass shooting. There's only one thing I have to say to Zohran Mamdani after his years long incitement to violence against the NYPD and the citizens they protect. Fuck you. https://t.co/6P9WcunGfi https://t.co/OcHG61xVju
🚨#BREAKING: Zohran Kwame Mamdani has released a statement saying, 'I’m heartbroken to learn of the horrific shooting in Midtown. I’m holding the victims, their families, and the NYPD officer in critical condition in my thoughts. I'm also deeply grateful to all the first
The anti-police rhetoric of Zohran Mamdani is what invites the murder of NYC's officers. You can't get away with calling cops a 'threat' and then walk away from that incitement to violence. Guess what? Tonight another one got killed. There's blood on Zohran's hands. https://t.co/vhL30MPTBD https://t.co/4pbBRHCLIE
