An ex-NYPD cop, apparently in the throes of a mental meltdown, has been busted for spray-painting anti-Semitic graffiti in one of Brooklyn’s largest Orthodox communities.
Michael Setiawan, 36, who left the police force in 2007, was accused Sunday of spraying swastikas and hate-filled words on the walls of a Jewish school, three other buildings and 15 cars in Borough Park.
Video surveillance cameras caught a bald man believed to be Setiawan wielding a spray-paint can during Saturday night’s vandalism rampage that left residents terrified.
“Hate is not a Brooklyn value, and I repudiate any lowlife individual who would spread their prejudiced invective,” said Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, a former NYPD officer.
Setiawan, 36, was charged with 19 counts each of criminal mischief as a hate crime and aggravated harassment as a hate crime.
He was accused of scrawling words “F— you Jew” and “Jew cheap s—” on the walls of the Bnos Zion Bobov School on 14th Ave. in Borough Park and on buildings and cars along Dahill Road, 37th St. and 14th St. near 38th St.. see more
