A New York man accused in the Saturday night stabbing rampage at a rabbi’s Hanukkah party has a “long history of mental illness and hospitalizations,” his family said.

Grafton Thomas, who is in custody and accused of five counts of attempted murder and one count of first-degree burglary, has suffered from “profound mental illness” for which he had received “episodic treatment,” according to the family statement released by a lawyer.

Thomas has been arrested twice before, police said, for menacing and reckless endangerment. Witnesses said the suspect pulled out a knife as large as “a broomstick” and began stabbing indiscriminately into a crowd of about 100 people gathered in the rabbi’s upstate home.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo called the attack a “blatant act of domestic terrorism that sought to inflict violence, incite hate and generate fear.”

However, the family statement appeared to seek to challenge that characterization and said: “He has no known history of anti-Semitism and was raised in a home which embraced and respected all religions and races. He is not a member of any hate groups.”

  1. “Witnesses said the suspect pulled out a knife as large as ‘a broomstick’ …”

    That sounds more like a sword than a knife. It’s exaggeration to be sure. “Domestic terrorism”? “Anti-semitism”? Again with the exaggeration. They’ll never pass up any excuse to further their agenda.
