A knife attack by a man who stormed into a rabbi's home and stabbed five people as they celebrated Hanukkah in an Orthodox Jewish community north of New York City has been described as domestic terrorism by the state governor.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - An assailant who stabbed five people attending a party at an Hasidic rabbi's home in what New York's governor called an act of domestic terrorism appears to have been acting alone, police said on Sunday.

The stabbings Saturday night at a home in Monsey, New York, left one person critically wounded, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. The rabbi’s son was also injured, he said. A suspect pleaded not guilty Sunday to five counts of attempted murder and one count of burglary.
