The New York City Police Department is requesting the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect involved in a criminal mischief case considered a hate crime. The incident occurred early in the morning on Thursday, June 13, 2024, at about 12:03 AM, at a synagogue located at 10 East 66th Street, within the 19th Precinct.

According to reports, an unidentified individual defaced the synagogue steps by drawing a red eye, an act that has prompted an investigation by the NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force. Following the act of vandalism, the individual fled the scene on foot to an unknown location.
