Top New York Times editor's apartment building vandalized with paint and graffiti

[question everything]

The Greenwich Village apartment building of New York Times Executive Editor Joseph Kahn was defaced with red paint and graffiti in the early hours of Friday morning.

The paint covered the walls and front steps to the apartment building, and writing at the base of the steps read, “Joe Kahn lies Gaza dies.”

The paper has long faced sharp backlash for its coverage of the war in Gaza, and its headquarters in Times Square was vandalized just last month with red paint and a similar spray-painted sentiment, “NYT lies Gaza dies.”

No arrests have been made in the Friday incident, the New York Police Department told CNN, and the investigation remains ongoing.

The Times said it is working with police following the incident.
