Larry Montes, 46, of the Bronx, was arrested at Manhattan’s Central Synagogue and charged with two counts of assault as a hate crime and one count of criminal mischief as a hate crime after disrupting Shabbat services Friday night. Police said Montes was being escorted out by synagogue security when he struck a 63-year-old woman, damaged property, and spat at and head-butted a security team member. The incident was captured on the synagogue’s livestream. A law enforcement official said Montes has a history of mental health issues.
