    Police are probing another possible case of anti-Semitic vandalism in Brooklyn.

    A jogger discovered that someone spray painted a vulgar phrase at the central monument leading to the eternal flame at Holocaust Memorial Park in Sheepshead Bay Wednesday.

    The police are still searching for suspects in a string of swastikas found in Borough Park and Bay Ridge, datingback to May.

    Several elected officials, including Assemb. Steven Cymbrowitz (D-Brooklyn) who called the police after the jogger alerted him, said they would not tolerate any more anti-Semitism in the borough.

    "The callous vandalism of this memorial must not go unpunished," Cymbrowitz said in a statement.
