A Gravesend yeshiva was vandalized with spray-painted swastikas late on Tuesday night.
A security guard at Magen David Yeshivah on McDonald Avenue discovered two red swastikas painted on a window and pillar at the front of the building at about 6:30 a.m. on Nov. 5 and called 911, police said. The building is home to an Orthodox Jewish elementary school and is part of a larger campus that includes a rabbinical college and an early childhood education center.
No arrests had been made as of Wednesday afternoon, police said, and an investigation by the NYPD's Hate Crimes Task Force is underway.
The school's principal, Rabbi Ezra-Cohen Saban, said in an email to parents that extra security was onsite Wednesday as the investigation unfolded, according to the Daily News.
