Vandals deface homes of Brooklyn Museum's Jewish leaders; NYPD probes pattern

Authorities are investigating reports of vandals targeting the homes of the Brooklyn Museum’s Jewish director and some board members after NYC Comptroller Brad Lander posted photos of red paint-smeared doors and hateful speech. “The cowards who did this are way over the line into antisemitism, harming the cause they claim to care about, and making everyone less safe,” Lander said in a post on X Wednesday. It wasn’t immediately clear who was responsible for the vandalism.

The group was last seen at East 65th Street and Park Avenue in a white U-Haul truck, where police said the suspects splattered red paint over two other homes linked to Jewish board members, according to the city’s comptroller, bringing the total number of homes hit to four. No injuries have been reported. A spokesperson for the Brooklyn Museum confirmed it had notified the NYPD of the acts of vandalism. “We are deeply troubled by these horrible acts,” the spokesperson said.
