NEW YORK — New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Monday that the 21-year-old man arrested at Penn Station over the weekend was not making idle threats about attacking a New York City synagogue.
Christopher Brown, from the town of Aquebogue on Long Island, told investigators he has a"sick personality" and tweeted that he was going to ask a priest"if I should become a husband or shoot up a synagogue and die," according to the criminal complaint.
"We're always concerned about copycats," Adams said."No one should ever feel threatened walking into their synagogue or place of worship."
