The NYPD said it is investigating “a criminal mischief pattern” of vandalism against Pride and transgender flags at the Stonewall National Monument during Pride month
The police department said its Hate Crime Task Force is investigating three incidents, which occurred June 10, June 15 and June 20. According to police, individual or individuals were seen removing Pride flags that were displayed on the fence of the monument. In two of the incidents, the flags were also broken, the statement said. There were no injuries as a result of the alleged crimes, and it’s not clear from the statement released Monday if the same person or people were involved.
Earlier this month, the NYPD tweeted a photo of individuals it said were “wanted for criminal mischief” in connection to the June 10 incident and asked for public assistance. President Barack Obama in 2016 designated the area around the Stonewall Inn, the site of the 1969 Stonewall uprising, as the country’s first national monument to honor the LGBTQ+ community. The uprising occurred when a police raid of the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar, turned violent after patrons fought back.
