"I am outraged to learn that a noose was placed in the Moynihan Train Hall facilities and I am directing the New York State Police Hate Crimes Task Force to investigate this cowardly act of hate.
"Moynihan Train Hall is a symbol of revitalization and resilience. It represents the best of our history as New Yorkers, and as a major entry point into New York, it will always embody our longstanding tradition of welcoming people from all walks of life into our community. Nothing will ever change these New York values that have stood strong throughout history.
"As I have said again and again recently, in the face of back-to-back incidents of violence and vandalism targeting specific ethnic groups, we will not let the actions of these few deplorable individuals define who we are as New Yorkers.
"Hate has no place in our state - period."
