The hateful lunatic who stabbed a rabbi with a syringe in the Diamond District was nabbed Saturday - as police revealed she attacked another Jewish man just hours earlier.

Anna Mochalova, 32, was arrested and slapped with a slew of charges, including assault as a hate crime, for stalking and jabbing Yosef, a 26-year-old rabbi, in the back with a needle near West 47th Street and Fifth Avenue around 6 p.m. last week.
