Dion Marsh (age 29) from the city of Manchester in New Jersey, USA, pleaded guilty in federal court to hate crimes while intentionally causing injury to five of his victims and attempting to kill and injure with a weapon, just because they were Jewish.
The US Department of Justice said in response: "This is a cruel and hateful rampage."

As I recall, in April 2022, at noon on a Friday, Marsh embarked on a journey of unbridled violence in the city of Lakewood, New Jersey, aimed against Jews: first he tried to hijack a car driven by an ultra-Orthodox - without success.
After that, he managed to stop another vehicle, forcibly removed the driver, also ultra-orthodox, from the vehicle, and began repeatedly hitting him in the face, until at one point he fled the area in the vehicle he stole.
A few hours later, he ran over an ultra-Orthodox man, who was rushed to a hospital in serious condition, and then stabbed another ultra-Orthodox victim in the chest with a knife.
In the evening he hit another orthodox passerby with the vehicle he stole.
Large police forces began searching for Marsh in the area, until he was finally arrested at his home.
The state will seek 30 years in prison without the possibility of parole, but now we have to wait and see what Marsh's sentence will be.
