Protests erupted outside the Brooklyn Museum on Saturday, three days after the arrest of activist Taylor Pelton, who allegedly vandalized museum director Anne Pasternak’s home with terrorist symbols during the Jewish holiday of Shavuot.

The New York Police Department revealed that 28-year-old Taylor Pelton from Queens was apprehended and charged with criminal mischief as a hate crime on Wednesday.

On June 11, Pasternak's home was defaced with red paint, and doors were marked with inverted red triangles, symbols associated with terrorist propaganda indicating targets. A banner hung at the scene read, “Anne Pasternak/Brooklyn Museum/white supremacist Zionist,” adorned with red handprints.

The vandalism has drawn widespread condemnation from New York City councilors, Governor Kathy Hochul, and Mayor Eric Adams. The Brooklyn Museum condemned the attack, stating that Pasternak and other museum leaders had been subjected to “these horrible acts.”
