Swastikas and racial slurs found on Brooklyn Heights block
The morning of Halloween, residents of a Brooklyn Heights block famous among trick-or-treaters woke to find their street defaced with Nazi symbols and racial slurs.
Police were called to Garden Place on Tuesday night around 10:30 p.m. after a resident reported that swastikas and other hate messages had been drawn in chalk on buildings near Garden Place and State Street. Police told NBC that among other messages, the n-word was written on multiple surfaces up and down the block.
