A Neo-Nazi sicko threatened to blow up multiple Jewish hospitals and care centers around the city – then livestreamed a call to cops on social media and Discord, federal prosecutors said.
Oregon native Domagoj Patkovic, 31, called Jewish hospitals and made anonymous bomb threats starting in May 2021 — when he phoned a hospital staffer and said he wanted to kill all Jews, using an antisemitic slur, according to prosecutors.
Patkovic allegedly said he had planned bombs around the 13-floor hospital, which resulted in a floor-by-floor sweep for explosives, according to an unsealed 23-count indictment.
Just minutes later, Patkovic allegedly called in another slur-laden threat to an on-call nurse at a hospice and senior care center in the Big Apple — this time claiming that “bombs are all over your facility” and that Jews are “gonna go skyrocket up into the sky for Allah,” US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Breon Peace said.
Patkovic made at lest six separate calls to hospitals and to a local law enforcement agent who was investigating a 911 call at one of the hospitals, prosecutors said — including a Sept. 15 2021 phony bomb threat that forced a partial evacuation and lockdown of Northwell Health’s Long Island Jewish Valley Stream hospital.
In that instance, Patkovic told the hospital’s phone operator that he had placed “C-4 in maintenance closets” — then called cops and doubled down on the threat while disgusing himself under the nickname “Abrahimavich,” according to court papers.
“I just called the hospital requesting my f–king million dollars or I’m going to blow this [slur]NEO f—ing b—h to the sky,” Patkovic allegedly told a NYPD 911 dispatcher after making the threat.
Federal prosecutors said that Patkovic livestreamed his call with the NYPD call center on Discord, which captured his face.
Patkovic eventually confessed to participating in swatting and bomb threat calls with others in July 2023, according to prosectors — while also identifying himself making the “Sieg Heil” Nazi salute over a man’s unconscious body in a picture from an unrelated incident.
Prosecutors said that Patkovic’s pattern of targeting Jewish centers “reflects the defendant’s religious animus against Jews and his desire to act on that animus,” according to court papers.
“As alleged, the defendant and his coconspirators, motivated by their hatred of Jewish people, targeted Jewish hospitals and care centers in New York City and on Long Island with hoax bomb threats, needlessly endangering patients and staff by creating chaos and alarm,” Peace said in a statement.
“Our highest priority is ensuring all members of our community are protected and we will use all resources possible to prosecute dangerous bomb threats and swatting schemes to the fullest extent of the law.”
Patkovic is charged with conspiring to make threats concerning explosives, conspiring to transmit threatening communications and other charges.
If convicted, Patkovic faces up to 155 years behind bars.
He is slated to make his first appearance in court in Oregon later Tuesday.
