Manhattan synagogue defaced, police say. It's the latest in a string of antisemitic incidents across NYC this week.

NEW YORK -- A Manhattan synagogue was defaced early Saturday morning, police say. It's the latest incident in a week-long escalation of antisemitic incidents across New York City.

Park Avenue Synagogue defaced

The Park Avenue Synagogue on the Upper East Side has a sign outside the building reading, "How great are your tents O Jacob your dwelling places O Israel." The text is a prayer in Judaism that expresses reverence for places of worship.

Police say just after midnight Friday, someone scrawled the word "Palestine" right under the word "Israel."
