A poster in a New York subway station advertising a book about Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was defaced with anti-Semitic vandalism this week in an incident police are investigating as a possible hate crime.
NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea, responding to the reports, called the vandalism “abhorrent” on Wednesday and said the NYPD Hate Crime Task Force would conduct a full investigation into the matter. “Our crews removed it immediately after NYPD had collected evidence for its investigation,” the MTA tweeted Wednesday. “Again, we regret that our customers were exposed to this hate speech, and thank you for notifying us.”
