"This morning, I was appalled and sickened to learn that commuters on the West Hempstead LIRR line discovered swastikas carved into the backs of several seats of their train car," Nassau County Legislator Olena Nicks (D - Uniondale) said. "There is no place for antisemitism in Nassau County or our nation, and we must make that abundantly clear whenever we are confronted with it. Today and always, I stand proudly with West Hempstead's vibrant and resilient Jewish community in denouncing this cowardly act of bigotry. I would like to thank our Nassau County Police for responding to this incident so quickly. If you feel unsafe or encounter any similar instances of bigotry, please contact Nassau County PD's Hate and Bias Hotline immediately."
