Cops hunt vandal who damaged Chanukah menorah outside Queens Jewish charity



Cops are hunting the vandal who damaged a menorah placed atop a car parked outside a Jewish charity in Queens on the second day of Chanukah, police said Wednesday.

The creep was caught on surveillance footage yanking the menorah off a car parked in front of Tomchei Shabbos, a charity organization that distributes food to the needy, on Metropolitan Ave. near 129th St. in Kew Gardens, around 3:12 p.m., cops said.

The act caused unspecified damage to the holiday candelabra, police said.

The suspect is wanted on a charge of criminal mischief as a hate crime, and the vandalism is being investigated by the NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All tips will be kept confidential.
