Arrest made in vandalizing of synagogue ahead of Ilana Glazer event

BROOKLYN –

Police arrested a man who say scrawled hateful words inside a Prospect Heights synagogue Thursday night.

Police charged James Polite, 26, Friday night with criminal mischief and making graffiti. 

 

The suspect was admitted to a hospital as an emotionally disturbed person. 

 

Polite has also been charged in incidents that occurred Friday at three different locations in the 90th Precinct, one of which was a yeshiva. Polite was charged with numerous offenses, including multiple charges of arson as a hate crime, aggravated harassment and criminal mischief.

The vandal struck right before “Broad City” star Ilana Glazer was scheduled to host a political event at Union Temple on Thursday night. Police say the messages were found around 8 p.m. Thursday, but they believe they were written around 6 p.m. The event had to be canceled.

 

Police say the suspect wrote anti-Semitic statements with black marker throughout the building. Officials say the suspect wrote “die Jew rats we are here,” “Hitler,” and “Jews better be ready.”

  1. So now they are calling the criminal thugs “mentality ill” just like in Europe. Amazing. I guess he will be unable to go to trial or be found not guilty by reason of insanity.
