White was arrested by the NYPD on Nov. 10, according to Katz. White was homeless and living in a men’s shelter when he was taken into custody, the New York Post reported.
“As alleged, the defendant used his social media accounts to issue explicit threats targeting Jewish and Israeli New Yorkers, in addition to members of the NYPD and federal law enforcement,” Katz said in a statement.
“At a time when antisemitic vitriol is rising at an alarming rate, we know that words of hate often escalate into real-world violence. This defendant has now been indicted on felony hate crime charges and I thank our law enforcement partners in the NYPD for their work on this case,” the district attorney added.
