Several headstones at a Philadelphia Jewish cemetery was damaged overnight, police said.
The investigation is ongoing at the Mt. Carmel Cemetery in the Wissinoming section of the city.
WPVI reported: Aaron Mallin of North Jersey made the disturbing discovery Sunday when he came to visit his father’s grave.
“It’s just very disheartening that such a thing would take place,” Mallin said.
He says he knows this doesn’t look good, but is hoping that somehow this wasn’t an anti-Semitic attack.
“I’m hoping it was maybe just some drunk kids. But the fact that there’s so many it leads one to think it could have been targeted,” Mallin said.
Authorities have not confirmed the incident was an act of vandalism.
Last week, More Than 100 Headstones Were Damaged At Jewish Cemetery Near St. Louis.
