Police investigating multiple bomb threats against New York City synagogues


NEW YORK — Authorities Saturday were investigating multiple bomb threats at synagogues across New York City.

The New York City Police Department told CBS New York that multiple bomb threats were made against synagogues Saturday.

There have been at least four bomb threats in Manhattan, according to police, including at Congregation Rodeph Sholom on the Upper East Side, and Chabad of Midtown on Fifth Avenue.

There was also a bomb threat reported at Brooklyn Heights Synagogue on Remsen Street.

Police say that so far, all of the bomb threats have been unfounded. The details of how the threats were made was unclear.

In a post to social media, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul wrote that “We are actively monitoring a number of bomb threats at synagogues in New York. Threats have been determined not to be credible, but we will not tolerate individuals sowing fear & antisemitism. Those responsible must be held accountable for their despicable actions.”
