STATEMENT BY BOROUGH PRESIDENT ON THE ARREST OF VANDAL WHO ALLEGEDLY SPRAY-PAINTED SWASTIKAS AND OTHER PROFANITIES AT MARINE PARK CHURCH

“I want to commend the New York City Police Department, the NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force and Brooklyn South Commanding Officer Chief Joseph Fox for all of their hard work culminating in the arrest today of a man in connection with the incident last September at the Good Shepard Church in Marine Park.

“To desecrate a house of worship with these horrible messages of hate is downright despicable and will never be tolerated in Brooklyn. Brooklyn has been and will always be united in our efforts to stamp out any hint of religious or ethnic intolerance. The person suspected of this cowardly crime is certainly in need of the Lord’s help.

“During the past several months, I have been monitoring the investigation of the Hate Crime Task Force into the spray-painting of swastikas on cars in southern Brooklyn, and I am confident that the NYPD will apprehend the person(s) responsible for these horrible crimes.”
