A 1-year-old boy was stabbed near Rittenhouse Square just after noon Saturday, Philadelphia police said.
Medics took him to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, were he was listed in stable condition, police said.The stabbing took place near Temple Beth Zion-Beth Israel but did not involve anyone connected to the synagogue, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia said in a statement. “While this is an ongoing investigation, all reports indicate that it was not an antisemitic attack, but unfortunately part of the tragic crimes we sometimes see in the city landscape,” the statement also said. “It is believed that the individual involved experienced a mental health crisis.”
No arrests were made and no weapons found, police said, providing no further information on the incident. Employees at the nearby Rittenhouse Market said police came into the store and looked at footage from their security cameras.
