“This is New York, and we have absolutely zero tolerance for such acts of intolerance and bigotry,” he said. “When you attack one of us, you attack all of us, and we will stand united with the Jewish community to condemn these illegal acts and eradicate this cancer of hate.”

As of Saturday, no arrests had been made in the case.

The incident comes amid an increase in anti-Semitic violence against Jews in the city.
