A man was arrested for painting swastikas in the heart of the Orthodox Jewish community of Midwood / Flatbush – just minutes after he scrawled�them on Tuesday.

Sources tell YWN that at around 3:00PM a black male drew a large swastika on the sidewalk on Coney Island Avenue and Avenue J in front of the Chase Bank. A person passing by called Flatbush Shomrim as well as the NYPD.

Both responded in seconds. Before they arrived, the man had already made another swastika on Avenue J and East 12 Street.

Officers from the NYPD’s 70 Precinct took the man into custody without further incident.

Further information about�the suspect and what he will be charged with will be published when it becomes available.
