Residents say someone painted antisemitic graffiti along the walking path on the Bronx River Parkway near White Plains - and they want it painted over.
It’s unknown when the graffiti was painted, but some residents say they saw swastikas painted on signs and walkways on Sunday.
Carl Parker said he was walking along the pathway with his family on Sunday when he noticed the graffiti. He said he reached out to officials but has not heard back yet.

"I was disappointed. I’ve never seen anything like that in the 20 years that I’ve lived in White Plains on and off so I was disappointed and shocked,” says Parker.
Another resident, who asked to be anonymous because of safety concerns, told News 12 he heard about it and wanted to see it for himself.
“As a Jew, it’s particularly alarming to see the swastika specifically, but all of the graffiti is generally hate-filled,” he says.
News 12 reached out to county police to learn more but has not heard back.
