His office received vile voicemails including a threat to blow up his car and messages that "The only good Muslim is a dead Muslim”.

At least four threats were left via voicemail in the assemblyman's Queens office and included Islamophobic statements, according to his campaign.

On Thursday, following the start of the NYPD hate crime unit's investigation into the car bomb threat, Mamdani's office released the following statement:

"While Zohran does not own a car, the violent and specific language of what appears to be a repeat caller is alarming and we are taking every precaution," the campaign said. "While this is a sad reality, it is not surprising after millions of dollars have been spent on dehumanizing, Islamophobic rhetoric designed to stoke division and hate. Violence and racism should have no place in our politics. Zohran remains focused on delivering a safe and affordable New York."
