A Point Breeze coffee shop was vandalized early Saturday.
Two large windows, valued at $2,000, were shattered in the front of OCF Coffee House, 2001 Federal St. upon police arrival at 6 a.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. An employee secured the business at 5 p.m. Friday. Nothing was taken.
According to reports, Fingers have been pointed at Point Breeze Organizing Committee, which denied involvement on its Facebook page. The group had a march commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington in Point Breeze hours after the OCF incident.
“As we said yesterday, we support a full and probing criminal investigation,” the group posted on its Facebook page. “The facts will show that we had nothing to do with it. We uphold the non-violent tradition of the Civil Rights Movement. Leaders of that movement, too, on many occasions, had to address provocateurs who benefited from portraying the Civil Rights struggle as violent.”
The group has clashed with OCF owner Ori Feibush, criticizing his business OCF Realty, 2054 South St., and his developments in Point Breeze.
The vandal was described as male, slim and wearing a gray hoodie, black ski mask, blue jeans, white socks, black sneakers, white and black gloves and a green shoulder bag.
