The New York Police Department has arrested and charged a 38-year-old Queens resident with a hate crime of damaging a local church’s front doors and a statue of Our Lady, according to The Tablet.
The outlet reports that on June 21 a parishioner contacted Father Sean Suckiel, pastor of Holy Family Church in Fresh Meadows, after witnessing a vandal law enforcement officials have identified as Freddy Genao, using a crowbar to hit the church doors. Genao also destroyed part of the face of a statue of the Blessed Mother that was on the church premises. According to a July 1 report from QNS, Fr. Suckiel called 911. A nearby policeman responded to the scene and took Genao into custody.
