Monday morning, Mayor Eric Adams, alongside city and federal officials, spoke on how they worked together with local Jewish leaders to stop the potential attack.
CBS2 has learned the tip came in from local Jewish organizations, and just a few hours later an arrest was made by those two officers. Christopher Brown, 21, from Long Island, and Matthew Mahrer, 22, from Manhattan, were both arrested Saturday for allegedly making threats to attack a New York City synagogue.
During a news conference Monday morning, Adams applauded the work of the NYPD, the FBI, the MTA and local Jewish organizations in. He pointed out that with the city being home to 1.6 million Jewish residents, there's heightened concern for hate crimes. "I want to thank members of the public, and if anyone else has more information about these suspects, to reach out to the FBI or NYPD as soon as possible," said FBI Assistant Director Mike Driscoll.
