Whitehawk, Brighton – A Jewish pensioner fled her home after racist vandals sprayed a swastika on her car.
The 64-year-old was so distressed when she discovered the graffiti outside her flat in Whitehawk, Brighton, that she ended up in hospital.
Community leaders have condemned the crime and appealed for people who know the culprit to turn them in.
The woman went to the Royal Sussex County Hospital for treatment on Tuesday after discovering the tyres on her car, which was parked outside Heron Court in Swanborough Place, had been let down and a swastika sprayed on the bodywork.
