Jackie Robinson statue defaced with swastikas and racist slurs outside Brooklyn Cyclones stadium

"The hate-filled messages such as 'Heil Hitler' and 'Die n----r' were discovered Wednesday morning written in black marker on the monument to Robinson and his Brooklyn Dodgers teammate Pee Wee Reese."

"Cops are hunting for a vile vandal who scrawled swastikas and racist slurs on the famous Jackie Robinson statue outside the Brooklyn Cyclones stadium in Coney Island.

A manager at MCU Park stumbled upon the defaced statue about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, cops said.

Among the hate-filled messages written in black marker on the monument to Robinson and his Brooklyn Dodgers teammate Pee Wee Reese were: "Heil Hitler," "Die n----r," "F--k n----r" and "F--k Jackie Robinson."

The discovery disgusted the Brooklyn Cyclones organization."
