Update From Chief Weidel

The following statement was posted on social media from Chief Brad Weidel regarding the investigation of the vicious assault on a Monsey resident.

I am aware of much of the chatter which has been on-going on social media and in the community regarding the stabbing and assault in Monsey this past week.

Unfortunately RPD can not make any public comments yet. As I write there are investigative efforts occurring on multiple levels.

As soon as we can, RPD will provide the public with an update as to what we have learned and the direction the case is going.

I reiterate my original remarks made at the press conference-that RPD has no evidence to support the legal requirements of a hate crime in this case.

I remind everyone of the $10,000 reward posted by the Anti-Defamation League and our requests for information, including anonymously.

Call 845-357-2400 or you can use the TIP411 app.

Chief Weidel.
