NEW YORK — Jews in New York City were targeted in 31 alleged hate crimes last month, an average of one incident per day, according to NYPD data released on Monday.

The antisemitic incidents accounted for 54% of the 58 total hate crimes reported to police in January.

The total for last month marked a 182% jump over the same period last year, but was a decrease from the 40 antisemitic incidents in December. January was the city’s first month under Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration.

The rate of antisemitic incidents regularly fluctuates due to factors including protest activity and the weather.

Last month, there was one bias incident related to age, five against Asians, two targeting Black people, two motivated by gender, one against a Hispanic person, seven targeting Muslims, three against other religious groups, five motivated by sexual orientation, and one targeting white people.
