A New Jersey man is accused of vandalizing a public school in Paterson with feces, ABC News reported. 

Mohamad Bekheet was arrested and charged with bias intimidation, criminal mischief, and harassment after video surveillance caught him smearing feces on a sign in front of the South Paterson elementary school, according to the outlet. 

Bekheet reportedly spelled out

“Allah”

with his feces which New Jersey’s council on American-Islamic relations believes to be a hate crime. An investigation is still ongoing.
