The NYPD is investigating six incidents of antisemitic vandalism in two neighborhoods in Queens since Monday.
"It's a new record for New York," said Scott Richman, ADL New York/New Jersey Regional Director. "We've never seen so many incidents in the 43 years that we've been keeping track of such data."
"If we look at the state where more assaults than any other state took place, we're talking about New York again," Richman said. "Most of those took place in New York City, specifically in Brooklyn." They believe a man, seen on surveillance video in multiple locations, has been scrawling symbols of hate in Forest Hills and Rego Park in the last week, outside apartment buildings like one on Queens Boulevard. Symbols have even been scrawled outside the 112th Precinct stationhouse and a synagogue.The latest in this string of incidents was outside another apartment building, this one in Rego Park.
