Driver faces hate crime charge after allegedly crashing into Chabad Jewish center in New York

A New Jersey man is facing attempted assault as a hate crime and other charges after police said he repeatedly drove his car into the back of Chabad World Headquarters in Brooklyn.

Police were already assigned to a detail at the Chabad in Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood when they heard a commotion in the building's main entrance Wednesday evening, New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. When officers responded, they saw a car strike the rear door, reverse and then strike the door again.

Video showed the suspect, 36-year-old Dan Sohail, get out of his Honda Accord after the crash and tell the crowd, "I dunno, it slipped! It slipped, you f------ a------!" Sohail appeared to spit at the crowd as NYPD officers led him toward their police cruiser.

No one was hurt but the building was evacuated as a precaution.
