City police said they arrested Thomas Grafton, 37, after identifying the license plate on his Nissan Sentra as it crossed the George Washington Bridge around 11:45 p.m. Saturday.
Officers David Radziwon and Giovanni Mattera stopped and arrested the Orange County resident on 144th Street and Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard (7th Avenue) in Harlem a short time later and held him for Ramapo police.
Grafton was being charged with five counts of attempted murder and one count of burglary, the NYPD.
His arrest ended a cross-county search that lasted nearly two hours after five people were injured during the attack at a rabbi's home in Monsey.
