New York State Sen. Iwen Chu has made a statement following an incident in which an individual allegedly attacked her district office in Brooklyn.
According to Chu, on the morning of July 14, a man allegedly tossed a cluster of bricks through one of the windows at her district office.
Chu said that nobody was harmed during the incident, and that luckily no constituents were inhabiting the office's waiting room that is nearby where the window sits. Chu represent the 17th Senate District in Albany, which covers parts of Bay Ridge, Sunset Park, Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst, Bath Beach and Kensington.
"This is an inexcusable act of violence and cannot be tolerated in any aspect of life," said Chu in a statement. "This is not just an attack on my office but everyone we serve."
Chu said that she will be working with the New York Police Department to try and catch the individual responsible for the alleged attack and destruction of property.
As a result of the damage made to the office, Chu said that her staff will be working remotely until further notice, and that all inquiries can be made by phone at 718-333-0311 or by email at [email protected].
