The New York Police Department has released an image of a man carrying a rainbow flag, identifying him as the suspect in a vandalism incident at St. Mary Star of the Sea Church in Far Rockaway, Queens.

The act occurred in October, when an individual spray-painted words such as “CULT” on the church’s sidewalk and walls. The vandal also painted over the faces of two statues on the property.

Authorities are treating the case as a hate crime.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (1-800-577-8477).
