MORE HATE – THREE DAYS IN A ROW: Swastikas Found At Multiple Locations In Manhattan


The NYPD is investigating at least two seperate hate crimes in NYC on Tuesday.

The first incident was on Morningside Avenue, in the Harlem section of Manhattan, where swastikas were found in the middle of the street.

A second swastika was found around four blocks away, painted on a tree on 125th Street and Morningside Avenue.

A third incident was reported to the NYPD later Tuesday, when a swastika and anti-Jewish slurs were found on a mailbox outside the post office located on 104 Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue.

NYC Councilman Mark Levin said “in wake of the appalling assault on a Jewish man in Brooklyn, we must denounce and fight against hatred in all its forms”.

On Sunday, a Hasidic Jewish man was viciously assaulted in Boro Park, Brooklyn by a Muslim man in an unprovoked attack. The NYPD recommended hate crime charges, but shockingly, the Brooklyn D.A. failed to hit the suspect with that charge.

On Monday, a Jewish man was violently assaulted in another unprovoked attack while crossing a street in Crown Heights on Monday afternoon. Police recommended hate crime charges in this attack as well. It was not clear if the D.A. in fact charged the man with a hate crime.

In light of the two recent physical assaults on Jewish individuals, there will be a press conference on Wednesday morning in front of 1 Police Plaza. Leaders representing diverse communities throughout New York City are expected to attend and call for both assaults to be charged as hate crimes, and for an increased police presence from the NYPD.
