Vandals spray anti-Semitic graffiti on Shaare Torah Girls Elementary School
Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) was just informed by police that Shaare Torah Girls Elementary School located at 222 Ocean Parkway and the corner of Church Avenue was vandalized earlier today with anti-Semitic graffiti. “Kill the Jews” and “Nazis live here” was prominently scrawled across the yeshiva building, along with a sizeable swastika. This matter has since been referred to the Hate Crimes Unit of the New York Police Department.
“Even with an increased police presence in our communities, these vandals persist in their vile ways,” Hikind said. “Every hateful act they get away with only serves to embolden them, and makes them that much more likely to continue committing these kinds of crimes. They must be caught and brought to justice.”
Hikind encourages anyone with information to please contact the 66th police precinct at (718) 851-5611.
