The anti-Israel agitator who wore a Hezbollah t-shirt and a mask while threatening a Jewish man on a Manhattan train was slapped with a hate crime charge on Wednesday, police said.
Christopher Husary, 37, was charged with an attempted hate crime and aggravated harassment for the June 10 verbal attack, where he allegedly spouted antisemitic vitriol at White Plains lawyer Joshua Savitt.
The disturbing run-in unfolded as Savitt, 35, was on his way home after attending a Manhattan exhibit memorializing the victims of the deadly Oct. 7 Nova Music Festival attack when he noticed two people vandalizing the train car near Union Square.
“Free Gaza,” they allegedly spray painted, leading Savitt to snap their photo.
The vandals then confronted him and called him a “Zionist,” police said at the time.
In an exclusive interview with The Post after the attack, Savitt said that Husary taunted him while demanding Savitt not photograph him.
“Bro, if you only knew who I was,” Husary allegedly seethed, Savitt recounted.
“He said something to the effect of ‘we’re going to find you, we’re going to get you,” Savitt said about the hateful display, which occurred after anti-Israel protesters descended outside the exhibit.
Savitt filed a police report after The Post unmasked Husary as a bicoastal agitator still living with his parents inside their $1.8 million California home.
Husary — who has a string of protest arrests — defended himself in an interview, claiming Savitt was the aggressor.
“The guy who stopped me and my friends is a terrorist. And then he lies and says I made a gun gesture,” Husary said in late June.
“I put my hand up because he was following and harassing us. I caught him.”
Husary was extradited from California to face the charges.
