Selden, NY – An apparent anti-Semitic hate crime has a father in fear on Long Island, and he isn’t even Jewish.

WCBS880’s Sophia Hall reports:

Alexander Robles says he is afraid for his family, especially his little 3-year-old daughter, because this is the second time his family in Selden has been hit with hate crimes.

“We were awoken to a loud thumping noise,” says Robles. “I heard the car alarm went off, and looked out the window, and the car was on fire.”

Robles says he woke up his wife, his mother, and grabbed his daughter and ran out of the house.

Robles says, “Then we see swastikas on the garage door and this is the second time this has happened within the past nine months.”

Robles, who is not Jewish, but Hispanic, says he does not know why his family is being targeted.

“G-d forbid. It could have been worse,” says Robles.

The car fire was started right underneath his daughters bedroom window.
