Vandal Arrested for Scrawling Swastikas on Firehouse
A man who formerly worked as the Bulgarian parliament’s in-house photographer was arrested Saturday for vandalizing a Washington Heights firehouse and several ambulances with swastikas and hateful language.
City fire marshals arrested 42-year-old Jem Ibrahimov after he returned to the scene of the crime in order to further commit vandalism.
