Footage of a Jewish family, including a one-year old baby, in Manhattan being attacked by a man carrying a knife surfaced on Thursday, which appears to have been unprovoked.
In the video, a man carrying an umbrella walks past the Hasidic couple and their baby in a stroller, until he turns and attacks the couple from behind, slashing both the mother and father.

Upon stepping away from the suspect, the man also slashed at the baby, injuring her chin, according to the New York Post, citing local police.
The couple then ran off as the man continued to chase them.
The suspect, Darryl Jones, was arrested in connection to the attack on charges of assault, assaulting a child below the age of seven, possession of a weapon as well as controlled substance, according to the New York Post.
The victims said to police that the man did not utter antisemitic remarks prior to the attack, the Post noted. The father, mother and baby were all treated for minor injuries and are expected to fully recover.
