An end of Ramadan celebration was tainted yesterday when guests discovered three packages of uncooked bacon in a Staten Island park in what police are saying is a possible bias incident.
The revelers gathered in New Dorp Beach Park for the Eid-ul-Fitr when the pork product was discovered near the football field at 7:30 a.m., police said.
“On a website associated with this celebration was some derogatory comments,” said Police Commissioner Ray Kelly in a press conference today.
“This has been determined to be a bias event,” Kelly said.
The statements were made by a person who identified himself as “007 Midland.”
“We are attempting to locate the individual who made the comments on the web site,” Kelly said.
