A vandal spray-painted a swastika and a racist message on an NYU building earlier this month, cops said.

The suspect targeted the university’s Tisch Hall on 40 West 4th St. around 11:15 a.m. Feb. 6, leaving the disturbing symbol and anti-black language on the side of the building, police said.

Police did not have the exact wording of the hateful message.

The vandal took off, heading north on Greene Street, cops said.

Police released a photo of him late Wednesday, describing him as between 5-foot-8 and 5-foot-10.

He was last seen wearing a dark colored snorkel jacket, dark blue jeans, black sneakers and a newsboy cap.
