Sculpture Defaced Near Philly Museum | Philadelphia News

Philly police are hunting a suspect who defaced a sculpture outside the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History on August 13th, captured on camera before heading into a nearby subway station. The man, described as 50-60, tattooed, wearing a white tank top, khaki shorts, and red/white Nike Air Jordans, is still at large. Though repairs were made quickly, the incident stings deeply amid rising antisemitism nationwide — Pennsylvania ranks fourth in antisemitic incidents, per ADL. The museum stands firm, refusing to be intimidated after past vandalism, including last year’s attack on its building and an Israeli flag. Authorities urge anyone with tips to contact the Central Detective Division at 215-686-3047 or 215-686-3048. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
