Synagogue vandal again breaks windows in the Bronx

The Synagogue Vandal tried to break windows and doors at Jewish centers in the Bronx again on Monday morning, police said.

Police said the stone thrower targeted the Riverdale Jewish Center around 1:30 a.m., throwing rocks and causing more than $ 250 in damage.

Police said the unidentified barbarian was the same person who threw stones at the center and three other religious facilities over the weekend.

The NYPD said the center has a “very good security system” and is capable of receiving and matching police surveillance video.

A police spokesman said, “We were able to determine that this video is the same man based on the evidence.”
