The Anti-Defamation League was the first organisation to report the arrest, after it was contacted by the New York Police Department and New York State Police about the arrest.
The ADL's national offices in New York received a bomb threat from an anonymous caller on February 22, amid a spate of such calls made to Jewish organizations, synagogues and community centers across the United States.
There have been five waves of bomb threats aimed at Jewish institutions in 30 US states and three acts of vandalism at Jewish cemeteries in the past two months.
