A Bronx man was arrested Friday after a hate crime incident at a Midtown synagogue that left two people injured, according to the NYPD.

Police responded to a 911 call at 6:10 p.m. for a disturbance at a synagogue located at 652 Lexington Ave. in Midtown.

Larry Montes, 46, of Grand Concourse, became disruptive during a religious service and was being escorted out by security.

As security attempted to remove him, police said Montes struck a 63-year-old woman, causing a small laceration to her lip and right forearm.

Police say he also spit on and head-butted a 65-year-old male security guard.

"What happened there tonight is deeply painful. A place of worship should never be a crime scene," said NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.

Montes was taken into custody and faces multiple charges, including assault as a hate crime, assault, criminal mischief as a hate crime, disruption of a religious service, criminal trespass as a hate crime, aggravated harassment and harassment. "I am grateful to Central Synagogue’s security team for swiftly stepping in to prevent more violence, and to the NYPD sergeant who apprehended him and took him into custody. Our administration will always stand against bigotry in all its forms. We will use every tool at our disposal to confront antisemitism and keep Jewish New Yorkers — and all New Yorkers — safe," said Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
