Pelton was allegedly one of five masked vandals who threw red paint at Pasternak's door and held up a banner that read, “Anne Pasternak Brooklyn Museum White Supremacy Zionist.” The door was also spray-painted with an upside-down red triangle, a symbol previously used by Hamas to identify Israeli military targets, the outlet reported.

In addition to the attack, Pelton is also accused of vandalizing another building on Douglas Street in Cobble Hill with red paint that morning, for which she faces hate crime and criminal damage charges, according to the New York Post.

Authorities are also investigating whether the attack is linked to other similar incidents of vandalism, including one that took place the same day at the German Consulate at United Nations Plaza in Manhattan, according to the New York Post. No arrests have been made in that case. Investigators are looking into possible links between those incidents and other incidents of vandalism in the city.
