Sullivan County, NY - Monticello police were called to the Fialkoff’s bungalow colony on Waverly Avenue on Sunday evening after two men reportedly tried to run down Hasidic customers who were standing in the parking lot of a Jewish-owned bakery, according to the Times-Herald Record.
Esai Diaz, 21, and Brandon Morales, 20 steered their vehicle in the direction of those assembled with the intention of hitting them. Morales, seated in the passenger seat, allegedly yelled, “Go home, go back to your (expletive) Jews.” Diaz then drove off, but returned again to the parking lot.
Morales then exited the vehicle and punched a man in the arm. The duo attempted to flee, but the car would not start, forcing the pair to escape on foot while the customers chased after them. The police apprehended Diaz and Morales shortly thereafter.
Police have not yet concluded what caused the incident.
Diaz, who already has eight active suspensions on his license, was charged with felony reckless endangerment and misdemeanor aggravated unlicensed operation, while Morales was charged with felony aggravated harassment and another harassment violation.
The two are being held at the Sullivan County Jail on $2,500
