Raul Morales was arrested after two Manhattan stabbings as police investigate possible hate crime motives and continue examining the case.

A 51-year-old man identified as Raul Morales has been taken into custody in connection with two stabbing incidents on Manhattan’s Upper West Side on Thursday afternoon.

According to the New York Police Department (NYPD), two men were attacked within minutes of each other in incidents investigators currently believe were unprovoked. Both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital, where they were listed in stable condition.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said detectives are examining whether the attacks may qualify as a hate crime. Police described Morales as the sole suspect in the case and said investigators are also exploring whether mental health factors may have contributed to the incidents, although authorities said they have no known prior mental health history involving him.
