A swastika was found spray-painted on a walkway outside the front door of the Westchester County Jewish Community Services building in Yonkers.

The hate symbol, which has been blurred in photos, prompted an immediate response from staff and authorities.

Employees at the Jewish center told News 12 that they left the premises for the day due to safety concerns following the incident.

Yonkers police were observed at the building, actively investigating the vandalism.
