Swastikas spray-painted on four Jewish school buses in Williamsburg

Police are investigating a suspected hate crime after someone spray-painted swastikas and antisemitic and anti-Israel messages on four Jewish school buses in Williamsburg at about 5 a.m. Monday, VIN News reports.

The buses, parked near Bedford Avenue and Williamsburg Street West, belong to Satmar, Sanz-Klausenburg and Tiferes Yisroel institutions. The graffiti included swastikas, vulgar anti-Jewish slogans, "Free Palestine" and "America First," according to VIN News. The NYPD's 90th Precinct and Hate Crime Task Force are investigating, and Williamsburg Shomrim is helping collect surveillance footage. No arrests have been reported.

Councilman Lincoln Restler called the graffiti "truly obscene." Anyone with information can call Williamsburg Shomrim or NYPD Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
