A trio of vandals chucked red paint at a Palestinian mission and a luxury Upper East Side building Wednesday morning — hours before a pair of firebugs torched two American flags outside the Israeli consulate, authorities said.
The group began their spree around 5 a.m., splashing paint on the front entrance of a luxury building bordering Central Park on Fifth Avenue near East 65th Street, cops said.
In 2016, the building was dubbed “Manhattan’s most elite address,” home to billionaires and Wall Street executives, according to a Forbes report.
The three suspects then flung a bucket of paint at the Permanent Observer Mission of the State of Palestine to the United Nations on East 65th Street near Park Avenue around 6 a.m., cops said.
An NYPD cruiser parked in front of the building was covered in paint splatter, photos and videos show.
The NYPD did not have any details on the vandalism to the department vehicle.
The suspects were part of a group of 15 demonstrators who fled in a white U-Haul truck and have not been caught, according to law enforcement sources.
Then in the middle of the morning rush, two men set a pair of American flags ablaze in front of the Consulate General of Israel in New York on Second Avenue near East 42nd Street, cops said.
One of the men was taken into custody with charges pending, police said.
The crimes came hours after antisemitic vandals tossed red paint and scrawled “blood on your hands” across the homes of the Brooklyn Museum’s director and a number of its Jewish board members.
Director Anne Pasternak’s co-op apartment building in Brooklyn Heights was among those targeted by the vile mob when they strung up a sign that screamed, “Anne Pasternak Brooklyn Museum White Supremacist Zionist.”
The NYPD said all of the incidents are under investigation, but could not immediately confirm if they are connected.
