A taxi driver attempted to mow down a group of students and a rabbi outside a Jewish school in Brooklyn in an alleged attempt to 'kill all the Jews'.
Asghar Ali, 58, a Pakistani immigrant with a reported history of mental illness, faces dozens of charges, including for attempted murder, after the attack outside the school in Canarsie on Wednesday, The New York Post reported.
Surveillance camera footage shows a cab driver, later identified by police as Ali, reviving his engine as he drives up onto the sidewalk near the Mesivta Nachlas Yakov School building.
He then chases a group of young men in an apparent attempt to run them over.
The group, who sought safety inside the school building, alleged that as he chased them down, Ali yelled: 'I'm going to kill all the Jews.'
