Hateful antisemitic incidents skyrocketed 182% across the Big Apple in January compared to a year ago, even as other crimes such as murders and shootings reached record lows, according to NYPD data. There were 31 hate crimes against Jewish people reported in the first month of 2026, which is 20 more than the same time last year, the startling stats show.   The concerning figures are in contrast to the record-low number of shootings and murders that took place in the city in January as New Yorkers faced below-freezing temps for much of the month.
