A pro-Palestine protester splattered red paint across the Greenwich Village home of the New York Times executive editor early Friday, police said.
The red paint was found on the front steps, walls, sidewalk and lamps outside the entrance to the swanky apartment building on Fifth Ave. near E. 11th St. at about 3 a.m. on Friday.
New York Times executive editor Joseph Kahn lives in the building.
Besides smearing red paint on the walls and steps, the vandal wrote “Joe Kahn Lies, Gaza Dies” in black marker on the sidewalk in front of the front door.
Building residents called police after the vandalism was discovered a few hours later.
No arrests have been made.
Police sources said there have been a handful of similar protests against Kahn’s home over the New York Times’ coverage of the war in Gaza. Kahn was named executive editor of the paper in 2022.
An email to the New York Times for comment was not immediately returned.
