According to a report in The Belaaz, a knife-wielding man on parole for attempted murder attacked a Jewish couple walking with their baby near Battery Park in Lower Manhattan wednesday afternoon.

The attacker slashed all 3 family members.

According to the report, the victims were treated for minor cuts by first responders on the scene.

NYPD told Yeshiva World News that it did not appear that the man said anything anti-Semitic prior to attacking the family.

The man was released from jail last month. He spent several years behind bars after pleading guilty to attempted murder tied to a violent August 2011 robbery on the Upper East Side, according to the New York Post.
