Antisemitic graffiti has been discovered on a footbridge in Fanwood Nature Center, New Jersey.
The vandalism was reportedly discovered only a few hours after the bridge was erected.
The graffiti also included the N-word, as well as “kike” and “faggot”, which were scratched into the side of the new bridge.
Mayor Colleen Mahr said: “I am appalled and disappointed…We will not tolerate or accept these actions from anyone in our community. I fully support law enforcement efforts to bring the perpetrator(s) to justice.”
According to the FBI, over 60 percent of hate crimes against a religious minority are motivated by antisemitism.
