The Newkirk Medical Plaza (1414 Newkirk Plaza, by Marlborough Road) was targeted by at least one vandal who smashed the Boro Park Obstetrics & Gynecology’s doors with a hammer and threw a Molotov cocktail inside the building early this morning, employees said at the scene of the crime.

One employee said she received a call at about 4am that the building had been vandalized — the second time this week that such an incident has happened. Around 1:45am on Sunday, May 17, employees said a door at the same location was broken and a Molotov cocktail was also thrown at that time.

During both incidents, no one was inside the building and no injuries have been reported. An employee also noted that the office fish are OK.

Nothing was stolen on Sunday or today, according to employees.

The damage inside the building did not seem too extensive, employees said, though they stressed that until police and fire officials completed their investigations, they wouldn’t know the full scope of the damage.

We have reached out to the 70th Precinct for more information about the incident and to see if there has been an arrest yet. Employees said they did not believe an arrest has been made, and they noted there are security cameras at the building that captured the perpetrator.
