Police are on the lookout for a man who wrote “die yuppies” and drew a swastika in wet cement at a Bushwick construction site in the early hours of Friday morning.

Security camera footage released by the NYPD shows the individual, who police describe as being approximately 5’11 and 150 pounds with long straight hair, in a dark waist length jacket, black work boots and black jeans.

In the video, the suspect is seen hopping a plastic fence at the construction site at 1346 Myrtle Avenue between Stanhope and the Myrtle/Himrod/Wilson intersection and crouching down, at which point he allegedly applied the described graffiti.

The suspect is wanted for criminal mischief. An NYPD spokesperson did not identify whether the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the incident.
