The incident is being investigated by the NYPD Hate Crimes Unit, the Queens Daily Eagle reported.
The flyers were first discovered on Wednesday night.
The image on the flyer shows a man’s head with a kippah on top of it that has a Star of David in the middle. The words “Worthless F—ing Cancer Filled Jew” is printed over the image.
