A group of three men allegedly damaged multiple rainbow Pride flags on display at New York City’s Stonewall National Monument over the weekend, in what police are investigating as a possible hate crime.
The New York City Police Department confirmed Monday that it is investigating the incident. It also tweeted surveillance footage of the three men walking near the monument, which is located in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, and asked for the public's assistance to identify them.
New York City Councilmember Erik Bottcher, who is gay and whose district includes Greenwich Village, also confirmed the vandalism, posting images of the broken rainbow flags on Twitter on Saturday.
