Swastika Found Graffitied At Fort Totten Park In Bayside: Parks

BAYSIDE, QUEENS — Police found a swastika graffitied at Fort Totten Park in Bayside last week, the city’s Department of Parks and Recreation said.

The anti-Semitic graffiti was found on Thursday evening and removed on Monday morning after authorities completed an investigation at the Endicott Battery of the park.

“Hate has no place in our parks,” a spokesperson for the Parks department said in a statement. “When offensive hate speech is discovered, we work with the NYPD to remove it immediately.”

Assemblyman Edward C. Braunstein, who represents Bayside, also addressed the incident on Twitter, expressing that “hate will not be tolerated in our community.”
