Edison, NJ - Two swastikas were scrawled on the walls inside the Rabbi Jacob Joseph Yeshiva in Edison in what police are calling a bias crime.

A 19-year-old student at the Woodbridge Avenue school discovered the word "Jesus" written on the wall of a staircase, then found a 2-foot by 2-foot swastika drawn in green marker on the wall of the landing.

A 2-foot by 3-foot image of male genitalia was drawn in black on a second-floor hallway, along with a second green swastika, police Lt. Joseph Shannon said.

Vandals entered the school apparently through an unlocked gymnasium door, Shannon said. "Nothing else was disturbed," he said.

Police and the Middlesex County Prosecutor's are investigating the crime.
