'Simply unacceptable': New York police investigate 6 synagogue attacks in 3 days as possible hate crimes
A string of attacks that targeted synagogues across New York City over the weekend are being investigated as possible hate crimes, authorities said.
The six attacks from Friday to Sunday at Bronx-area synagogues are being investigated by the New York Police Department's Hate Crimes Task Force. Surveillance footage released by police appears to show the same man may have been involved in several of the attacks and police are seeking him for questioning.
The attacks come amid a wave of violence across the country, including a spate of mass shootings and hate crimes that have targeted Asian Americans including a Friday night incident in East Harlem in which a 61-year-old Chinese American was attacked from behind, knocked to the ground and repeatedly kicked in the head, surveillance video showed.
Two of the New York City synagogue attacks happened Friday, three on Saturday and another on Sunday, NYPD Detective Denise Moroney said. Each happened late in the evening or in the early morning hours.

Twice can be a coincidence.
Three times should be the last time they scratch their head thinking.
SIX freaking times doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.
