"BROOKLYN, NY - A cyclist wearing a fedora was caught on camera scrawling antisemitic graffiti, including a swastika, on buildings in Brooklyn, according to police. Around 6 a.m. on Nov. 5, a man on a bicycle, dressed entirely in black, was captured on video approaching Magen David Yeshivah near McDonald Avenue and Avenue T in Gravesend, where he spray-painted swastikas across the front of the building, according to police."
"Police said the suspect scrawled hate-filled antisemitic messages, including swastikas, only hours after Zohran Mamdani's election as mayor. The vandalism continued later that morning, when, just before 10 a.m., the same cyclist appeared near McDonald Avenue and Bay Parkway. There, he spray-painted swastikas on construction barriers outside Washington Cemetery before riding off, according to police. "This is a disgusting and heartbreaking act of antisemitism, and it has no place in our beautiful city," Mamdani wrote on social media."
