Vandal carves 30 swastikas into wet concrete in Brooklyn

New York police are searching for a man who carved about 30 swastikas into wet concrete in Brooklyn.

The Midwood neighborhood where the incident occurred early Saturday morning is predominantly Jewish, and home to at least nine large Orthodox synagogues, a branch of Touro College, and two historic non-Orthodox synagogues.

The vandal, believed to be a teenager, is captured on video carving the swastikas in the concrete over the course of 35 minutes. He also takes photos of his handiwork. The graffiti was discovered on Monday and reported to police, the New York Daily News reports.

The incident is under investigation by the NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force.
