This was a sick crime.

Exhausted nurses at New York-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital in Cortlandt were dealt more stress after a callous criminal slashed the tires on 22 vehicles outside the hospital, lohud.com reports.

Some nurses at the hospital who had just been lauded for their work during the coronavirus pandemic ended their overnight shifts to find their cars, parked in the hospital lot, vandalized.

Peekskill’s Daniel Hall, 29, was arrested for the incident, charged with criminal mischief and possession of a controlled substance after state police said he had a small amount of PCP on him when he was taken into custody.

Troopers were alerted to the vandalism around 7 a.m. Friday, lohud reported.

“We were shocked to hear of this incident, especially at this time when our employees are working tirelessly and courageously through this crisis,” the Cortlandt Manor hospital said in an emailed statement.

The hospital will pay for the damages, officials said.
