(New York, NY) – The NYPD is still looking for a group of anti-Israel protesters who vandalized a subway train last week. The group made their way through four F train cars removing advertisements and replacing them with “Free Palestine” posters. They followed up by covering the screws with super-glue costing the MTA over ten-thousand-dollars in damage. The group consisted of at least eight individuals who fled the scene by hopping off at the Seventh Avenue Station.
A Staten Island dad dragged his 16-year-old son to a police precinct last Thursday, so the teen could turn himself in for defacing a World War I monument in Central Park. The 107th Infantry memorial was defaced by anti-Israel demonstrators on Monday night. Protesters drew words of support for Palestinians on the monument. The “New York Post” reports the 16-year-old is a student at Tottenville High, who has no prior record. The paper says the teenager has been a regular at anti-Israel protests in the city. NYPD Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry took to X to post a blurred out photo of the teen as he sat on a bench in a police station.
