Car Vandalized Over Shabbos

Brooklyn, NY — On Friday night a car was vandalized on Montgomery Street between Albany and Troy while parked in its owner’s alleyway. Neighbors said that they saw two people running away from the vicinity after hearing a series of pops, which they said sounded like someone was ‘banging on a door’.

The vehicle sustained significant damage including a shattered windshield from what appears to be a hammer, as well as shattered head lamps and rear window. The vandals did not stop at that, they brought along with them two paint cans, one white and one red and poured it all over the exterior and interior of the car.
