In Brooklyn, vandals defaced a pediatric office with a Nazi swastika, prompting immediate action from staff and local officials. Tribeca Pediatrics in Bay Ridge discovered the hate symbol and worked with the NYPD to investigate. Council Member Justin Brannan and State Senator Andrew Gounardes condemned the act, emphasizing community commitment to safety and inclusivity. To counter the hate, a red heart symbol was placed over the graffiti, symbolizing peace. The NYPD is pursuing the investigation, which has been transferred to the Hate Crime Task Force.
"Antisemitism will not be tolerated by our offices or by this community, as demonstrated by the swift response of our staff and community members. We will continue to ensure that Bay Ridge is safe and welcoming to all."
"A symbol of peace, a red heart, was placed over the hateful graffiti near the entrance ramp to the medical office."
