A hateful vandal scrawled red swastikas on the front of a Brooklyn yeshiva overnight Wednesday, just hours after the election of anti-Israel Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani raised fears of a new “normalization of antisemitism.”
Security staff called 911 when they discovered the hateful symbols drawn in red paint on the pillars and window of the Magen David Yeshiva on McDonald Avenue near Avenue S in Gravesend around 6:30 a.m., police said.
The solo suspect, who wore all black during the brazen act, fled on foot and had not been arrested by early Wednesday, cops said.
The hateful display sparked backlash from Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, who urged Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to immediately condemn it.
