Police are on the hunt for whoever vandalized a century-old Brooklyn church.
Staff at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Williamsburg discovered the property damage just before 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.
A statue of Saint Jude was knocked over and broken, while graffiti was scrawled on a statue of the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus.
The vandalism comes just a few weeks after parishioners celebrated the church's 125th anniversary.
Police are treating the incident as a hate crime.
