Two young men were arrested for tearing down posters of hostages kidnapped in the Israel-Hamas war that were hung up outside a private property in Gramercy Park, police said Thursday.

Charlotte Wimer, who uses he/him pronouns, and Gray Segal, both 18, were arrested just after 5 p.m. Wednesday after they were caught ripping down posters of Israeli children and adults kidnapped by the terrorist group on display outside 201 East 23rd Street, cops said.

Both Wimer and Segal, who live on the Lower East Side, were charged with criminal mischief, police said.

Video taken moments after the incident and shared on X shows the two men in handcuffs standing in front of the disheveled wall of posters.

Before the incident, the wall of the privately-owned building had been completely covered in red and white signs with the word “KIDNAPPED” written in all caps above photographs of missing hostages, as well as posters of the Israeli flag. Photo taken Thursday afternoon and shared under the initial video on X showed that new posters had been put up in place of the ones that were callously torn down.

Posters drawing attention to the 240 people who were taken hostage by Hamas during the terror group’s Oct. 7 surprise attack on Israel have been plastered all across the Big Apple as a way to draw attention to their plight.

The NYPD identifies Charlotte as “arrested and booked.”

What idiots. Hamas would slit their throats after they did all sorts of hideous things to them.

One thin silver lining from 10/7: Lots of people showing their true colors.

Segal and Wimer? The self-loathing is strong in these two.

But their goals are the same: A complete deconstruction of the west. And they’re winning.

Yeah, that caught my eye.

Thank you, educators, for poisoning the minds of your pupils.

I don’t know if it’s stupidity, insanity, or a hatred of God that causes this.

Probably stone Charlotte, he/him. They’re running out of tall buildings in Gaza and whats left is dangerous to be on the top of.

Whats the point of putting up Hamas hostage posters all over NYC?

Not sure I’d want to see a wall of posters like that outside my door either.

And after they serve their sentences, give them to Hamas.

...Charlotte Wimer, who uses he/him pronouns...

It can use any pronouns it desires, but I will refer to it using its correct biological sex pronouns.

So the NY Post says 2 young men were arrested

Confused. Is Charlotte a biological female?

They don’t give murderers jail time in NYC.

Only people who defend themselves.

And anyone named “Trump”, just for existing.
