The young man is accused of severly beating another man outside of a nightclub in Manhattan in February.

A 24-year-old Israeli citizen who works at the Israeli consulate in New York has been accused of attempting to murder a 42-year-old man outside a nightclub in Manhattan, New York City, according to a Friday report in the British publication Daily Mail.

The victim was rushed to the hospital with a brain hemorrhage and multiple cuts.

According to the indictment, the suspect attacked the man on February 26 with a glass jug outside the "Gospel" club in Soho, Manhattan.
