NEW YORK (CBS 2) -- A Fire Department electrician who filed a race discrimination complaint against the department in December said a noose was left inside his work locker.

Gregory Seabrook said he found the noose on Thursday at an FDNY facility in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

Seabrook's lawyer displayed the noose at a news conference.

"It's a workable noose as one can see. So positioned in front of our client's locker certainly suggests very strongly in no uncertain terms a direct threat," said Stephen Jackson, Seabrook's Attorney.

Seabrook and four other minority electricians claim the Fire Department overlooks minority electricians for overtime and promotions.

An FDNY spokesman said "The department has a zero tolerance policy towards intimidation. This alleged incident is under investigation."
