Police in Brooklyn are searching for the person or persons responsible for vandalizing two homes Friday morning, including one belonging to the family of filmmaker Spike Lee.
Someone spray painted the steps of the Lee’s house located at 164 Washington Park in Fort Greene.
It appears they tried to write “Do The Right Thing”, possibly in reference to Lee’s 1989 film.
They did manage to scrawl the whole message on the side of their neighbor’s house.
Neighbors tell NY1 they believe it was in retaliation for a anti-gentrification speech Lee gave on Tuesday.
Lee’s brother, Arnold Lee, says the filmmaker needs to think more before he speaks.
“Spike needs to stop with whatever situation he was talking about over here. Because he doesn’t live here – and he’s not involved in it. Don’t make it personal. That way somebody knows where you live. My friend got her house damaged and somebody spray painted our house,” Lee said.
Investigators are looking into whether or not the graffiti has anything to do with Spike Lee’s speech.
The neighbor had a their front door window broken as well.
