In Bay Ridge, vandals have attacked a shrine to the Virgin Mary outside Visitation Academy, defacing it with serious damage including the beheading of a stone lamb and toppling of child supplicant statues. This incident, described as a possible hate crime by police, follows previous vandalism at the school. The damage was discovered Thursday ahead of Easter, amplifying concerns over the motivations behind the vandalism, particularly given its timing. Authorities are investigating the scene which remains a point of community distress.
The latest disturbance at Visitation Academy comes just two weeks before Easter, heightening police concern that it might indicate a premeditated hate crime.
The damage at Visitation Academy, reported first by the Daily News, includes toppling of child supplicants statues and a decapitated lamb.
