The property owners alerted the police to the vandalism on Monday morning, Brooklyn Democratic Assemblyman Dov Hikind said.

He added: 'This guy is on camera as clear as can be... A swastika is the ultimate symbol of hate. What would motivate somebody to do that?'

He went on to say the video has been turned over to the NYPD's 70th precinct, the New York Daily News reported.

The perpetrator has yet to be identified but police believe he is a teenager.

Meanwhile the NYPD's Hate Crime Task Force is investigating the incident.

'I have great confidence that the perpetrator of this hate crime will be caught,' Hikind added.
