On Friday November 18, Adam Yauch Park in Brooklyn Heights, a park dedicated to the memory of the late Beastie Boy also known as MCA, was vandalized with swastikas and the words "GO TRUMP."

Yauch, like bandmates Ad-Rock and Mike D, was Jewish.

Hate crimes have spiked in the wake of Donald Trump's election last week and minority groups New York City have not been exempt from the targeting.
