Antisemitic messages scrawled on park bench on Upper West Side
NEW YORK -- The NYPD is looking for the vandal who left antisemitic messages on a bench on the Upper West Side.
The hate speech was found in a park at West End Avenue and West 71st Street on Monday night. Officers with flashlights were seen looking for evidence at the scene.
State Assembly member Linda Rosenthal, who represents the district, expressed her outrage.
"I'm just very angry and I'm upset, and have to continue to highlight the fact that hatred, antisemitic hatred, is all around us and we have to speak up against it and fight against it whenever we see it," Rosenthal said.
Police are looking for surveillance video in the area to see if they can identify the person responsible.
