After scrawling the Nazi symbols at around 4:15 p.m.the suspect fled the scene on foot in an unknown direction and there were no injuries reported as a result of the incident, police said.

The NYPD released surveillance photos of the suspect on June 27 and described him as having a light complexion and a mustache. He was last seen wearing eyeglasses, a maroon hooded sweatshirt, black jeans, dark sneakers and a black backpack.

The Hate Crimes Task Force’s investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS.

Ridgewood mother and daughter arrested for attacking woman over parking spot: NYPD

A Ridgewood mother and daughter were arrested Monday after they ambushed a young Black woman who tried to park her car in a spot in front of their apartment building that they frequently cordon off with garbage cans and traffic cones.

A family friend was standing at the northeast corner of Onderdonk Avenue and Putnam Avenue at around 7:30 p.m. when the 21-year-old Jada McPherson tried to park her car in the spot. The man placed a garbage can in her way. She drove off and circled the block multiple times. She tried to pull into the same spot one more time, but the man tried to stop her again. McPherson got out of her car to confront him, and an argument ensued.
