Two suspects responsible for painting more than 57 swastikas across walkways and playground equipment at a park on 18th Avenue and 56th Street in Boro Park have been arrested, authorities confirmed.
The arrests were made through a joint effort by the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force and Boro Park Shomrim, following an investigation into the disturbing antisemitic vandalism that shocked the local community.
Officials say the suspects are believed to be linked to the widespread graffiti found throughout the park, including on areas frequented by children.
The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to identify and locate any additional suspects involved in the incident.

By overly publicizing the pictures, aren’t we, in essence, really advertising and encouraging more?
Stupid! Stupid! for removing the Swastikas. Either make the perp that did it remove it or leave it for the rain to wash it off. I remember years back in Montreal they sprayed a swastika on a shul I was involved and advised not to remove it. The rain washed it off. It took years but another one was never sprayed. They want to terrorize us don’t fall for it.
My parents were Auschwitz survivors.
It was an easy catch.
My guess: teens from “religion of peace”, possibly FDR students.
