Carson Now reported the stabbing took place in front of a pub called The Tap Shack; the assailant asked the victim for money before stabbing him in the head. Witnesses say the assailant shouted, “Heil Hitler, you piece of s—!“ and “Sieg heil!” and gave a Nazi salute.
The Jewish man “was conscious and alert when he was taken to the hospital,” according to Carson Now.
Liora Rez, director of the Stop Anti-Semitism.org watchdog, said in a statement to the Journal, “We were afraid as soon as stay-at-home orders were over, attacks on Jews would again continue; this brutal assault unfortunately proved us right. We are outraged this attempted murder isn’t being shared on major news networks, and demand answers from the Carson City PD as to who the attacker is and if he will be charged with a hate crime and attempted murder!”
Bryan Leib, former national director of the Americans Against Anti-Semitism watchdog, tweeted, “Please find this criminal and lock him up ASAP!”
