An antisimetic hatemonger was caught on camera leaving a book with swastikas and other Nazi symbols scrawled on the front cover on the stoop of a Brooklyn home, police said Friday.

The Tuesday morning incident is being investigated by the NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force.

Surveillance video from a camera outside the home, near Ocean Parkway and Avenue W, captured the suspect at 1:25 a.m. as he walked up the front steps and placed the book on the top step before leaving the scene.

The suspect has no known connection to the home. It wasn’t immediately clear if anyone Jewish lives in the home.

Police ask anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
