Long Island authorities are hunting down a hateful vandal who carved swastikas and a racial slur into playground equipment at a public park. 

An employee at Wantagh Park in Nassau County noticed the abhorrent graffiti – which included two swastikas, each about six-by-six inches in size – and reported it to police around 3 p.m. Friday, according to the Nassau Police Department, which declined to divulge the nature of the racial slur. 

Cops have yet to make any arrests.

Police are asking anyone with information regarding the disturbing incident to contact Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS or call 911.
