Attorney General William Barr announced charges against 30-year-old Tiffany Harris on Tuesday who was accused of slapping three people in one of a series of apparently anti-Semitic attacks reported throughout New York during Hanukkah.
A federal criminal complaint details how Harris slapped the women on the back of the head and shouted expletives at them, while noting they were Jewish.
The women were walking down the street in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Crown Heights, which has a large Orthodox population at the time of the alleged assaults.
