Both victims were taken to a hospital and were expected to survive. They were in stable condition Friday, state Attorney General Letitia James said at a morning news conference with other officials and community leaders.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Manhattan District Attorney\u2019s Office, Morales approached the Asian man from behind and stabbed him with a knife \u201cwithout provocation.\u201d Then, after walking four blocks away, he stabbed the Jewish man wearing a kippah with a screwdriver, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>A witness followed Morales as he fled to the apartment he was staying at, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n<p>The Jewish victim was attacked just after leaving a nearby synagogue, called the Jewish Center, Rabbi Yosie Levine said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=4206\">As millions of Gen Zers face unemployment, CEOs of Amazon, Citi, and McDonald\u2019s say opportunity is still there\u2014if you have the right mindset<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cHe was just trying to pray at his synagogue, and now we\u2019re the ones praying for his recovery,\u201d Levine said.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Asian American Foundation, a New York-based advocacy group, said in a statement the attacks \u201cunderscore the persistent safety challenges\u201d and mistreatment \u2014 from harassment to physical assault \u2014 facing Asian Americans in the city.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe demand continued, meaningful investment in community safety and hate prevention that protects everyone,\u201d the group said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The charges Morales faces carry a consecutive total of 40 years in prison, prosecutors said.
