A Brooklyn woman is in custody after allegedly spewing antisemitic slurs and spitting at an 8-year-old boy who was with two other children on a Brooklyn street last week, officials say.
Christina Darling, 21, has been arrested on charges of aggravated harassment as a hate crime, endangering the welfare of a child and menacing, the NYPD Hate Crimes unit tweeted Friday.
The boy was standing in front of a building on Avenue P around 12:30 p.m. Jan. 14 when Darling allegedly walked up to him and the other kids and made the hateful comments. She spat at the 8-year-old before running off, cops said.
No injuries were reported.
The incident made global headlines, with the American Jewish Committee publicly calling on the NYPD to launch a hate crimes probe.
