Anti-Israel vandal arrested after pepper-spraying two NYPD cops in Times Square: sources
A hateful anti-Israel vandal who was caught viciously ripping down Israeli child hostage posters while yelling 'F–k Israel' after Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023 attack was arrested Wednesday after she pepper-sprayed two NYPD officers in Times Square — and tried to take their gun, according to law enforcement sources. Dana Baraket approached the pair of officers on Broadway and 47th Street around 1:20 a.m. and doused them in the eyes and face, police and sources said. The 19-year-old then tried to grab one of their guns as she repeatedly yelled at them to 'kill me,' according to sources. Advertisement Baraket did not get the gun and was arrested at the scene, the sources added. She was charged with assaulting a police officer, attempted robbery, criminal possession of a weapon, harassment and criminal possession of a noxious matter. 3 The two officers were taken to the hospital in stable condition, police said.

'The officers did an excellent job under extreme pressure and stress when they were intentionally ambushed by the attacker,' a law enforcement source said.

In Oct. 2023 — just weeks after Hamas launched its bloodthirsty attack on Israel, killing some 1,200 people and taking hundreds of hostages — Baraket was filmed tearing down Israeli child hostage posters from a storefront window with her sister while yelling 'F–k Israel' on the Upper West Side. The siblings were confronted by Marilyn Adler and her two adult daughters, who said the pair then turned on them, leaving her frightened that they would harm her children. In the video, shared widely online by the nonprofit StopAntisemitism, Adler's daughter Melissa pleaded with the women to stop, stressing that those pictured on the posters were 'innocent civilians.' Advertisement In response, one of the women yelled, 'F–k you, f–k Israel.' The sisters' father, Hasan Bakaret said he spoke with his daughters after the disturbing confrontation made The Post's front page. Hasan, a New Yorker who immigrated from Lebanon more than 35 years ago, said he disapproved of their offensive language but insisted they are not antisemitic and that their actions were taken out of context. The two women claimed they were provoked by Adler, who they claimed snatched a photo of a Palestinian baby from their hands, the dad said.

30K reward offered for details on alleged anti-Israel arsonist accused of torching 11 NYPD cars
A $30,000 reward is being offered on the whereabouts of the anti-Israel menace accused of torching nearly a dozen NYPD cars and causing $800,000 in damages in Brooklyn earlier in the month.

DCPI Numerous law enforcement agencies — NYPD Crime Stoppers, US Marshals and ATF — are offering reward money for the accused firebug's arrest and conviction, the NYPD announced Wednesday. Lodgson-McCray also allegedly destroyed a statue, leading to over $1,000 in damage during a protest at Columbia University in September, according to the NYPD. 3 Jakhi Lodgson-McCray allegedly torches nearly a dozen police vehicles. Kyle Mazza 'We believe, based on his social media, that he's very active in the protest community, involving the Free Palestine movement,' NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said after the arson incident near Patrol Borough Brooklyn North headquarters. He's believed to have acted alone during his targeted attack. 'We have him on video for about 40 minutes prior to the incident. He is by himself, and, like I said, a substantial video canvass after the fact, where we track him all the way back to Manhattan,' Kenny told reporters. 3 Suspected arsonist Jakhi Lodgson-McCray has not been seen since allegedly setting fire to 11 police vehicles. Kyle Mazza 'Several times during his escape, he changes his clothing.' 'He's wearing a hoodie cinched up so you can't see his face, and wearing a mask,' he added. 'But we do believe that he acted alone, and obviously he targeted this location because it is a police facility.' Logson-McCray was previously arrested for resisting arrest at an anti-ICE protest last month. He's also been cuffed at several anti-Israel demonstrations, according to records. Police are asking anyone with information to contact @NYPDTips or call 1-800-577-TIPS.
