nypdn1The following via DNA Info:

A threatening, anti-Semitic message was scrawled on the hallway of a neighborhood building a week after a Jewish tenant moved in, police said, in what detectives are investigating as a hate crime.

The building manager at the building on President St., an eight-unit apartment building between Rogers and Nostrand avenues, found the message �Murder the Jew tenant� written in dark marker just inside the entrance of the four-story brick building on Monday, according to police.

After calling 911 to report the graffiti, the manager told police a Jewish man moved into the building the week before he spotted the message, according to a Community Affairs officer at the 71st Precinct. The incident is being investigated as a bias crime by the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force.

Inside the building Tuesday, �wet paint� signs hung inside the building�s entrance and stairwell. No writing was visible on the walls on the building�s four floors.

No surveillance cameras captured the graffiti incident, police said, but as of Tuesday, no suspects had been identified in the case.
