‘Mad hatter hater’ strikes again at N.Y.U., sprays swastika, racist graffiti on Stern School

A newsboy-cap-wearing knucklehead is back at it again, writing a swastika and anti-black rhetoric on a New York University building, police said.

According to cops, the suspect did his dirty work this time on Sat., Feb. 6, around 11:15 a.m., spraying the ugliness on the side of the N.Y.U. Stern School of Business at 40 W. Fourth St. He then fled northbound on Greene St.

The man is described as around 5 feet 9 inches tall and heavyset. He has dark hair, slightly longish in the back and around the sides, and sideburns. He was last seen wearing a dark-colored snorkel jacket, dark blue jeans, black sneakers and a newsboy cap.

Cops are seeking to slap him with a charge of criminal mischief.

Last Sept. 12, at 1:35 p.m., the same individual wrote anti-black and anti-Semitic statements on N.Y.U.’s Silver Building, at 31 Washington Place. Surveillance photos and video of that incident provided by police show the man sporting his trademark newsboy cap, with the same hairstyle and sideburns.

Police ask that anyone with information call the N.Y.P.D.’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). Tips can also be submitted on the Crime Stoppers Web site at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or on Twitter at @NYPDTips. All tips are strictly confidential.
