A Manhattan man was convicted on Thursday of gunning down a man, a woman and the woman’s dog in a dispute over barking in Manhattan.
The Manhattan district attorney says Salem Seleiman, 30, has been sentenced to two years in prison for the beating of Joey Borgen, a Jewish man, in 2021.
“Salem Seleiman took part in the repugnant and bias-motivated assault of a Jewish man who was peacefully attending a rally,” said District Attorney Bragg. “The victim was targeted based on his religion and did nothing to warrant physical violence. In recent years, we have seen increased threats and violence against Jewish New Yorkers, and we want the community to know that our Hate Crimes Unit takes these matters extremely seriously. If you or someone you know has been the victim of a hate crime, I urge you to call 911 or report it to our Hate Crimes Unit at 212-335-3100.”
A New Jersey man who, insistent on keeping his dog in a Manhattan pizzeria, beat a restaurant manager nearly to death last year, pleaded guilty to assault charges on Wednesday, the district attorney’s office said.
The man charged with “viciously attacking” the manager of Roma Pizza with the help of his pit bull has pleaded guilty, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced Wednesday.
