A driver was arrested after repeatedly ramming the side doors of Chabad headquarters in New York with his vehicle, according to a spokesperson for the organization. No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident occurred Wednesday night at 770 Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, the global headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. The synagogue was evacuated as a precaution while authorities checked for additional threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA car just drove into the side doors of 770 at Chabad Headquarters,\u201d Yaacov Behrman, who handles public relations for Chabad headquarters, said in a post. \u201cThere are no injuries. Witnesses report the driver yelled for people to move as he drove in. It appears intentional.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Video recorded at the scene shows the driver repeatedly ramming the doors, backing up and striking them again as a crowd watched, causing visible damage without the car entering the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The footage shows the driver, a man with long hair and a beard, exiting the vehicle as bystanders confronted him. He can be heard saying, \u201cI don\u2019t know, it f*cking slipped,\u201d while pointing toward the car, moments before New York Police Department officers took him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Authorities have not released the identity of the suspect or a possible motive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
