The New York Police Department has apprehended a suspect believed to have stabbed half a dozen people in an anti-Semitic attack at a private Hanukkah party at a Rabbi’s home in Monsey, a suburb of New York City, Saturday evening.

The 37-year-old man is a resident of Greenwood Lake in Orange County, New York, and was captured after crossing the George Washington Bridge on his way into Manhattan. A license plate reader on the bridge snagged a photo of his vehicle, CNN reports, and law enforcement were able to follow the car through downtown New York City and into the Harlem neighborhood and arrest the man just after midnight. He was “covered” in the blood of his victims.
