A Holocaust memorial near San Francisco’s Legion of Honor museum was defaced with spray-painted graffiti, police said.
The incident was the second in two months at the memorial, a permanent art installation overlooking the Pacific Ocean that is owned and maintained by the city’s Arts Commission.
The graffiti had been removed by Tuesday afternoon, according to police. The memorial was defaced with depictions of swastikas inside the Star of David, according to police.
Mayor Gavin Newsom released a statement Tuesday condemning the vandalism.
A suspect in the vandalism, who was seen creating the graffiti, is described as 20 to 30 years old and 6 feet tall. He was wearing a white bandana and carrying a black messenger bag at the time.
The man left the area on foot and then got into a vehicle, police said.
