A suspect has been arrested and charged with a hate crime in connection to the antisemitic vandalism of a Brooklyn art museum director's home earlier this summer, as reported by the New York Police Department. Taylor Pelton, a 28-year-old individual from Queens, was taken into custody and charged with criminal mischief and criminal mischief as a hate crime for defacing the residence of Brooklyn Museum Director Anne Pasternak in June.
The vandalism involved splattering red paint on the front doors and windows of the home, along with a sign bearing red handprints that accused Pasternak of being a 'White Supremacist Zionist.' Additionally, red inverted triangles, a symbol associated with the military wing of Hamas, were painted on the windows and doors, indicating Israeli military targets.
