The NYPD said on Wednesday that the number of hate crimes has risen 31.5 percent this year compared to stats from 2015.

Police Commissioner James O’Neill said during a press conference in Brooklyn Borough Hall that the crimes against various groups, including Muslims and Jews, have surged so far this year.

But the top cop refused to say whether it was a direct result of the heated climate surrounding the presidential election.

“There has been a lot of rhetoric, but this is New York City and we’re much better than that,” O’Neill said. “We won’t tolerate these crimes.”

The commissioner said there have been a total of 328 hate crimes this year compared with the 250 crimes that took place during the same time period in 2015.

Hate crimes against Muslims increased from 12 to 25, while crimes against Jews people have risen to 111 from 102.

O’Neill said the NYPD will continue to bring those that commit these acts to justice.

“We have the best hate crime investigators in the United States of America,” he said.

“So if you’re going to engage in behavior like this, rest assured you’ll be arrested as quickly as possible, and we’ll work with our prosecutors to make sure they’ll be prosecuted under the hate crime statutes.”
