'Kill Jews' Graffiti Seen Near Upper West Side Playground: Report

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — An Upper West Side resident spotted the words "Kill Jews" graffitied on a wall near a neighborhood playground, according to reports.

Robert Smallwell told the West Side Rag that he encountered the graffiti at the entrance of a playground near his West 88th Street and Amsterdam Avenue apartment building. The Upper West Side man attempted to report the graffiti to police, but found it hard to contact them, the West Side Rag reported.

“This problem of reporting and responsibility should be brought to the attention of our local Assemblyman..is that Daniel O’Donnell? It should be simple!” Smallwell wrote the West Side Rag.

An NYPD spokeswoman found no record of the graffiti when asked by Patch.
