Attack On Michael Enright

The alleged stabber anti-Muslim taxi driver was "nonsense" statements to police following his arrest, a source of law enforcement told me just now, to puzzle over what drove Michael Enright of the apparent hate crime.

But the source said investigators do not see any obvious connection with the project Park51.

As mentioned earlier, charter a single violent crime with political significance, as seems to be happening with this, it requires great care.


UPDATE: The director of the group for volunteers Enright, Intersections International has also just released a statement on the incident:

The alleged perpetrator is not an employee and has never been an employee of Intersections. There is one person who fits the description of the alleged perpetrator who has worked with us as a volunteer, but until we have further confirmation of the details of this incident, we can not comment.

Our hearts are with the driver, his family and anyone who has dealt with the violence unacceptable.

Intersections on record, explicitly and consistently, as the promotion of interfaith dialogue and cooperation between cultures, particularly with our Muslim brothers and sisters. We deplore violence and any act that may be classified as hate crime. ... Sara Reef

A spokeswoman, Sarah Coral, said the group is not sure it's the same person, but if it is, that they had no warning sign Enright, who had volunteered for a year in the group. "He never said anything negative," he said.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg has also just released a statement on the incident:

I spoke today with the driver who was stabbed last night in an attack that seems to have been motivated by anti-Muslim bias. I assured him that ethnic or religious prejudice has no place in our city, and to help show that the mayor invited him to meet me tomorrow, an invitation which he accepted.

This attack goes against everything that New Yorkers believe, no matter what God we can pray a. I want to thank the men and women of the NYPD for their quick response in apprehending the suspect who was arrested and charged with attempted murder as a hate crime. We will continue doing everything possible to stop any crime that is directed against someone because of who they are or what they believe.
