The home of a Woodside senior was spray-painted with the “anarchy” symbol Tuesday night and the tires of a nearby vehicle were slashed.
In another incident on Wednesday night, nearly 20 vehicles in Astoria were targeted with a similar type of graffiti. It is unclear if both incidents are related, police said.
The vandalism in Woodside took place on 63rd Street. The owner informed Council Member Bob Holden of the crimes who subsequently told police.
Holden and members of the NYPD visited the scene and the lawmaker posted images of the destructive scrawl to Twitter.
The front garden wall of the building was spray-painted three times with a capital letter “A” inside a circle. The pattern symbolizes anarchy.
The building’s façade was hit four times with the symbol. The vandal used white spray paint.
All four tires on a 2013 Hyundai Elantra were also slashed Tuesday night. It was also spray-painted with the anarchy symbol. The car was parked around the corner from the house on 64th Street.
“These people are serious about intimidation and they obviously have some hate for that person,” said Holden, who condemned the attack.
“We’ve got to catch them because they might come back and do it again.”
Holden believes the vehicle and the house were mistakenly hit. He said the suspects are targeting the owner of a red Hyundai living in the neighborhood.
He said that around two weeks ago a similar-looking car parked in the area had four of its tires slashed. It was also spray-painted with the anarchy symbol, he said.
Holden believes the suspects came back on Tuesday night and vandalized the senior’s house thinking their target lives there.
“They are causing thousands of dollars worth of damage,” said Holden, who emphasized that the NYPD is taking the matter very seriously.
“We think they will be caught because there are a lot of cameras around the house and in the area where the car was targeted,” he said.
The NYPD said it is also investigating an incident in Astoria Wednesday night where 19 vehicles were targeted with spray paint.
The vehicles were parked along 33rd Street between Ditmars Boulevard and 23rd Avenue and had either the “anarchy” symbol or the letter “A” sprayed painted across them, police said.
A mix of white and red-colored spray paint was used in the incident
The NYPD said it is looking into the possibility that the incidents on Tuesday night and Wednesday night are related.

Mostly Peacfull Vandals ! They didn't paint the whole car...
The warnings were sent long ago, but very, very few people even heard them. And now here we are living in a DEMOCRAT shithole !
LIBERALS have wrecked AMERICA !
Obiden and their squad are so very happy their plans are working. Our enemies now live here!!!!!
Good job momma bear Piglosi keep locking up those insurrectionists .
How about locking up these criminals ?
The de Bozio's boys ?
Do not pass "go" , go directly to jail.
Thanks to bleeding heart mayors & gov's, this is now accepted behavior in our major cities!!!!
We have to keep in mind that those with real power employ a divide and conquer strategy to keep us fighting against each other via contrived political parties so we the people won't turn against them. They manipulate us by hot button issues that effect us on an emotional level so we fail to see things under the clarity of rational thought. They also ironically see themselves as our moral superiors which justifies (in their own minds) their dishonesty with the masses. They have turned our intelligence community against us and actively spread propaganda via the corporate news outlets and similar culture industry institutions. They have entered and come to dominate our educational system and now offer only an indoctrination to their agendas. We must seek to liberate ourselves through self-education from the prescribed false war of left versus right so we can be more effective in fighting the true war and common enemies of humanity. If you fail to believe that rich and powerful people conspire against the common man then you are the one that is gullible and your judgment should forever be held as suspect.
Doesn't Astoria have politicians too? It's all over their community.
Oh, that's right, it doesn't involve local developers or dining so forget it.
Not important.
Maybe this was the work of BLM firing lasers from outer space.
Maybe this is where Hillary coordinates her child sex traffic empire. Pizza anyone?
That looks more like the Avengers.
What cleaning products does one use to safely remove spray paint from the metallic sides of a car? From the masonry walls? Without damage to the underlying surfaces?
Astoria is currently not represented on the City Council
But...But... But.. it's art, they were just expressing themselves.

It depends on the paint or finish is below it.
Most vandals use cheap enamel paint, its best to try gasoline or Dupont rubbing compound before it totally dry's.
For chrome rubbing compound can damage its thin plating, use OOPS, lacquer thinner or Gumout on a rag but WARNING DO NOT get it on the painted finish it will strip it off !!
For Brick walls I use compressed air and walnut shot.
-Gee
@Qsaid
Truth is truth even if no one believes it. A lie is a lie even if everyone believes it.
Law & Order is working really fine for the repeat criminals who know nothing will happen to them.
The pink tie will stop them from coming back.
"But...But... But.. it's art, they were just expressing themselves."
Kooky Kamala Harris is our next President. Vote for republicans in the house and senate races in 2022. Stop the Malarkey!
Ignorant left wing bigots only know hatred.
The far left will ultimately destroy themselves. Just sit back and enjoy the show.
Charles Manson’s demented goal was to start race riots.
Is history repeating itself ?
Astoria is currently not represented on the City Council.
That's news?
What I find interesting is the local community that AOC 'represents on paper is getting no news on her positions and voting record in Congress.
Its that the Mediterranean Hillbillies are given the show of voting and then sent back to the hills until the next time to vote. Meanwhile, she does what she wants with no accountability to the opinions and views of Astoria.
This has to stop.
Where is Melinda Katz ?
Well imagine my shock, if you get rid of the very force that fights against crime, well you get more crime.
Those are not anarchy symbols those are ANTIFA symbols. Symbols of peace and love.
"Where is Melinda Katz ?"
Hiding out on Queens Boulevard while trying to figure out how to indict Curtis Sliwa for some imaginary crime he committed while canoodling with her.
"Astoria is currently not represented on the City Council.'"
And that is a silent blessing from above.
All this “healing” & “unity” is amazing. How does de Bozio do it?
I love watching NYC's progression and growth.
As I have been saying, “they ain’t even hiding it anymore” !
Don't you just love the national unity and healing under Joe Hiden !
This is Neo- liberal Fascism in action. Done three days after the Pro- Palestine March in nearby Sunnyside.
Such a vibrant, diverse area! After the locals have been driven out by crime and hostility directed at them, there will be no one born and grown up in the neighborhood left.
Anyone think it’s the work of Pakistani/Indian/ sleazy real estate developers to coerce the hold outs into selling cheap?
Damn those MAGA people...
