NEW YORK (PIX11) Assemblymember and New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani revealed he has received death threats in the final days of early voting before Tuesday’s Democratic primary.

The NYPD confirmed it has launched a hate crimes investigation after Mamdani’s campaign reported four separate voicemails, all making threatening and anti-Muslim statements.

“Over the next 10 days, you will not be able to turn on your TV, check your mail or watch a video on YouTube without seeing an attack on our movement. There will be lies to stoke fear, suspicion, even hate,” Mamdani said at a recent rally.

The caller is alleged to have threatened to blow up Mamdani’s car when leaving a voicemail at the candidate’s New York City office. Mamdani’s campaign said he doesn’t own a car but deemed the threat serious enough to bring to police.

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is running against Mamdani in the primary, posted on X, “This is an atrocious threat of political violence against Mr. Mamdani. It is unacceptable I strongly condemn these threats…”

Mamdani has continued to make appearances at rallies and neighborhoods across the city in his final push leading up to the primary. No arrests have been made.
