Antisemitic graffiti found on Jewish school buses in Brooklyn

Police are investigating a suspected hate crime after four school buses belonging to the United Talmudical Academy were vandalized with antisemitic graffiti in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The incident was discovered around 9:50 a.m. on Monday near Bedford Avenue and Williamsburg Street West.

The vandalism included swastikas and various messages such as “F–k Jews,” “F–k Israel,” “Free Palestine,” and “America First” scrawled in black spray paint. The buses serve the Satmar, Sanz-Klausenburg, and Tiferes Yisrael communities.

The NYPD’s 90th Precinct and Hate Crime Task Force are leading the investigation. Local community groups, including Williamsburg Shomrim, are assisting authorities in reviewing surveillance footage. As of the latest reports, no arrests have been made and no suspect descriptions have been released. This incident follows a bomb threat received by the same yeshiva on October 9.
