Swastikas Found Drawn On Cedarhurst Sidewalk

CEDARHURST, NY - Several swastikas were found in a predominantly Jewish part of Cedarhurst on Tuesday.

Residents shared photos of a swastika drawn in chalk on Oxford Road on Monday night that was removed, but then found again by local children on their way to school Tuesday morning.

A second was found less than two blocks away.

Assemb. Todd Kaminsky was on the scene helping to clean the graffiti off the sidewalk.

“I was horrified,” Kaminsky told CBS2. “It’s a terrible thing when someone tries to intimidate a community and publicly uses a symbol that’s synonymous with fear and anti-Semitism and hatred.”

Nassau County Police are investigating the incident and Rockaway Nassau Safety Patrol will be increasing their patrols in the area.
