NYPD On The Hunt For Suspects Who Vandalized Stonewall Pride Flag Display
The NYPD has released footage of three white men suspected of snapping dozens of Pride flags into pieces and throwing them on the ground in a troubling act of vandalism during Pride Month at the Stonewall National Monument — a memorial that celebrates a key moment in the gay rights movement.
On Monday, the NYPD released images of alleged suspects in the case. The group of men can be seen in the area after the flags had been vandalized around 3 a.m.
Saturday. Neighbors in Manhattan’s West Village discovered about 60 Pride flags ripped down from a fence, broken apart and strewn across the sidewalk Saturday morning. “I come almost daily to replace any missing flags on the fence.
And then I witnessed the act of vandalism,” said Steven Love-Menendez, who volunteers part of his time replacing an occasional lost flag since the area around Christopher Park and the famous bar became a national monument in 2016.
