Two fifteen-year-old boys have been arrested after dozens of swastikas and antisemitic language were spray-painted across a playground in Brooklyn's Borough Park neighborhood on two separate occasions this week. The vandalism, which included hateful symbols and references to Adolf Hitler, prompted swift condemnation from city and state officials, who described the acts as depraved and intolerable. The New York Police Department charged the teens with aggravated harassment, and one faces an additional charge of criminal mischief as a hate crime. Authorities credited the New York State Hate Crimes Task Force and local community groups for assisting in the investigation and apprehension of the suspects.
