A female employee at the synagogue who was answering the phone told investigators that the caller said “Congress passed a law to deport all Jews.” “So think about where you want to go”, the caller added.
The synagogue called the NYPD 66th Precinct to report the incident. Police arrived at the scene and called the Hate Crimes Task Force to investigate as well.
“Detectives will try to track down the man who made the phone call and figure out what his motives were,” a NYPD official said.
