Swastikas smeared on a bus stop in Glendale
NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force opens investigation into hateful fi lth on advertisement
BY MAX PARROTT
The NYPD has opened a
hate crimes investigation
into the discovery of two
swastikas — both apparently
made of excrement — on a
Glendale bus stop shelter
last week.
On the afternoon of July
10, a post on the Glendale
Civic Association Facebook
group emerged of the hateful
vandalism found on an
advertisement for Cellino
& Barnes Law Firm at the
corner of Cypress Hills
Street and Myrtle Avenue in
Glendale.
According to the post,
the swastikas were drawn
with a brown substance
that appeared to be human
feces. There were also reports
that the feces-like substance
was spread around the bus
stop. Apparently, the antisemitic
graffiti had been
sitting there for over a day.
At 1 p.m. July 9, a 63-yearold
female notified police after
seeing the two swastikas.
Officers of the 104th Precinct
were dispatched to the site
and report the incident,
police said.
Police sources
acknowledged to QNS on July
11 that the swastikas were
scrawled at the bus stop, but
could not confirm if they were
made of human waste.
The Hate Crimes Task
Force is investigating the
incident as a possible bias
crime, according to law
enforcement sources said.
No arrests have been made,
nor any swift effort to clean
the racist mess up. It was
not until two days after the
incident that the swastikas
had been washed away,
according to a July 11 post on
the Glendale Civic Association
Facebook page.
