Red spraypainted swastikas were found at three Jewish institutions in Brooklyn on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The Magen David Yeshivah in Gravesend was one of the buildings that was vandalized. Police say they were notified by security guards just before 7 a.m.<\/p>\n
Community members told News 12 they were inside the building praying when they heard the commotion.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen we saw this, against the Jewish people, against everything, it\u2019s very scary,” said Joe, a Gravesend resident.<\/p>\n
Two other places were vandalized as well, including Washington Cemetery and an unknown Jewish Social Services organization.<\/p>\n
There is no word at this time whether these incidents are linked.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause usually in America we don\u2019t see something like this,” said Joe.<\/p>\n
The NYPD Hate Crimes Unit is investigating.<\/p>\n
