"The bigoted vandal, law enforcement sources said, seemed to take extraordinary efforts to conceal their identity wearing all-black clothing, including matching gloves and a long-brimmed fedora that made seeing any distinguishing facial features nearly impossible. Cops confirmed on Monday that the Nov. 5 incident has been classified as a hate crime, with the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force now leading the active investigation into the vandalism and the search for the perpetrator responsible."
"The first incident occurred around 6 a.m. on Nov. 5 outside of the Magen David Yeshivah located at 2132 McDonald Ave. in Gravesend. Police said the mysterious suspect, while riding a bicycle, approached the religious hub and used red spray to mark the facade with a swastika before fleeing northbound on McDonald Avenue in an unknown direction. The suspect was last seen wearing black face mask, black top hat, black pants, black shirt, black gloves, and black shoes.NYPD"
Close-up surveillance footage captured a masked, fedora-wearing individual spray-painting swastikas near Jewish landmarks in Brooklyn on Nov. 5. The suspect wore all-black clothing, including matching gloves, a black face mask and a long-brimmed fedora, and appeared to take steps to conceal identifying features. The vandal struck at Magen David Yeshivah in Gravesend around 6 a.m. and later at Washington Cemetery around 9:50 a.m., using red spray paint on a facade and construction barriers before fleeing on a bicycle. The NYPD classified the incidents as a hate crime and assigned the Hate Crimes Task Force to lead the investigation. Zohran Mamdani condemned the antisemitic acts on social media.
