A Jewish man from Manhattan was arrested for making anti-Semitic phone calls to his mother and other women, and is suspected of painting anti-Semitic graffiti in Brooklyn.

David Haddad, 56, was arrested Sunday for making anti-Semitic phone calls including a Dec. 11  call to his mother in which he said “All Jews should die and go to hell.”

He is also suspected of painting swastikas on apartment doors earlier this month, as well as a graffiti attack in the Midwood neighborhood over the weekend.

Haddad reportedly knew nearly all of the victims, some of whom were his relatives, according to the New York Times. He reportedly was in a business dispute with his family, which may be the reason for the attacks.

Haddad, who police say is Jewish, was charged with aggravated harassment as a hate crime.
