NYPD Hate Crime Task Force investigating NYC subway thug unmasked by Post
The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is probing a masked thug who allegedly harassed Jews on the subway, The Post has learned.
The scary scene unfolded June 10 on an uptown train as White Plains lawyer Joshua Savitt rode home after attending a downtown Manhattan exhibit memorializing the victims of the Oct. 7 Nova Music Festival terror attack.
A man noticed two people vandalizing the train car’s window with the words, “Free Gaza,” and took pictures, prompting the vandals to allegedly confront him and call him a “Zionist, police said.
Savitt reported the incident to cops last week after The Post unmasked one of the rabble rousers as Christopher Khamis Victor Husary, a silver-spoon, bicoastal, perennial protester who still lives with parents in a $1.8 million California home.
A masked Husary allegedly taunted Savitt, telling him, “Bro, if you only knew who I was,” while wearing a Hezbollah shirt and demanding Savitt not photograph him.
Husary, 36, admitted to his encounter with Savitt after being confronted last week by The Post at his parent’s California home.
But Husary denied harassing Savitt, claiming the attorney was the aggressor.
There have been no arrests.
“It’s heartening to see the NYPD take harassing and threatening others on the subway seriously, and put in the work to hold people accountable. I’m glad I spoke up, and I encourage others to do the same,” said Savitt.
