Five swastikas were found painted on a sidewalk in the Borough Park section of Brooklyn.

Residents were cleaning up the neighborhood outside the Maimonides Medical Center when the swastikas were discovered.

The hate symbols were painted on the corner of 49th Street and 10th Avenue and two more were found on a fire hydrant.

Last month, swastikas were found in the Borough Park neighborhood and in other parts of Brooklyn. The swastikas were found on a synagogue and five other buildings in Borough Park.

The other swastikas were discovered on a van and on a street sign in the Kensington section of Brooklyn.

The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the incident.
