Yonkers Man Sentenced Six Years For Antisemitic Assault On Barber

News summary

Ahmed Al Jabali, 34, of Yonkers, New York, was sentenced to six years in state prison and three years of supervised release for his violent antisemitic assault on Slava Shushakov, a Jewish barber, in August 2024. Al Jabali pleaded guilty to second-degree assault as a hate crime after entering Shushakov's barbershop, using antisemitic slurs, and repeatedly stabbing him with barber's shears, causing multiple cuts. Westchester County District Attorney Susan Cacace condemned the attack as despicable and emphasized the commitment to combating antisemitism and hate crimes in the community. The victim expressed skepticism about Al Jabali's apology but is focused on raising awareness about antisemitism. The sentencing was met with support from local Jewish organizations, hoping it sends a strong message against such conduct in Westchester County. Judge James McCarty described the act as reprehensible during sentencing.
