Malliotakis Statement on Vandalism at Brooklyn's St. Dominic's Catholic Church
(BROOKLYN, NY) - Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis today released the following statement after her office was notified of vandalism at St. Dominic's Catholic Church in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn:
"Yesterday afternoon, a man was walking around Brooklyn's Bensonhurst neighborhood damaging cars and city property with a hammer. He then proceeded to St. Dominic's Roman Catholic Church on 20th Avenue and Bay Ridge Parkway, where he desecrated statues and smashed the glass on the church's doors. I’m saddened by this hateful act against a Catholic church in our community and I'm thankful to the NYPD for quickly apprehending this violent individual. Our office has been in contact with the NYPD and the church’s pastor regarding this incident and we urge the district attorney to hold the perpetrator accountable and to the fullest extent possible under the law."
