A series of swastikas were recently found in spots across Lower Manhattan — including the Charging Bull on Wall Street — and now cops are hunting for the vandal.
Surveillance video released by the NYPD shows the suspect allegedly drawing a single swastika on a pillar at the entrance to City Hall, at the corner of Beekman Street and Park Row, around 6:30 p.m. Monday.
The footage shows the poncho-wearing man drawing the anti-Semitic symbol, stepping away and then turning back to take one last glance at what he’d done before walking off.
The next day around 10:10 p.m., the vandal spray-painted a swastika on the Wall Street Bull in front of 25 Broadway, cops said.
Then he took off, heading north on Morris Street.
The suspect’s first target was a construction site on Maiden Lane near Liberty Place, cops said.
Police say a light-skinned individual drew a swastika on a pillar at City Hall on December 13, 2021
According to police, the same vandal drew swastikas on the Wall Street bull on December 15, 2021

Police say that this is the third time this person has defaced city property
He drew three swastikas on a wall around 1 p.m. Dec. 3, and then took off, police said.
Cops say the vandal appears to walk with a limp and was last seen wearing a black and gray poncho, black backpack, black jeans and multicolored sneakers.
The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating.
