A bigot broken a menorah outdoors a Jewish meals pantry in Kew Gardens earlier this month, police stated. 

The hate-fueled felony stormed as much as Tomchei Shabbos of Queens and ripped the Hannukah candelabrum off the roof of a automobile parked in entrance of the charity round 3:12 p.m. Dec. 15, based on cops and sources.

The merciless vandalism desecrated the $250 menorah, breaking one in all its lights.

The suspect then took off, fleeing on 129 Avenue towards Kew Gardens Street.

The vandal’s destruction got here someday earlier than Jewish New Yorker Elias Rosner, 35, was stabbed by a hate-spewing man.

“I’m going to kill Jewish individuals, I’m going to kill a Jew immediately, I don’t give a f–okay. … We wouldn’t be on this mess if the Holocaust had occurred,” Armani Charles, 23, allegedly screamed throughout the assault, based on Rosner.

Police stated the NYPD’s Hate Crime’s Activity Drive is investigating the Dec. 15 menorah vandalism.
