Manhattan grand jury brings hate crime charges against Colorado man accused of spray-painting swastika on Charging Bull statue 
A Colorado man was indicted Wednesday for a hate-fueled 2021 spree where swastikas were painted on Wall Street’s landmark Charging Bull statue and a nearby pharmacy, prosecutors announced Wednesday. James Ryan, 40, was also charged with drawing the Nazi symbol on a gate outside City Hall and scrawling an anti-Black slur at the same downtown location. “Hate has no place in New York City and these offensive and damaging actions will not be tolerated,” said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. “As alleged, James Ryan put emblems of hate on a city building and one of Manhattan’s most iconic symbols.”
