(Jewish Group) 'Too many to count:' Swastikas drawn on D.C.'s Union Station
More than 50 swastikas were drawn Friday on the grand facade of Union Station in Washington, D.C., Amtrak’s second-busiest hub.
Amtrak and D.C. police are investigating the graffiti, which was up for hours before crews began taping over it with plastic and heavy duty tape.
The swastikas were captured in videos and photos by Amtrak passengers and commuters who use the station’s Metro stop, one of the two closest to the Capitol.
In a press conference Friday, D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee indicated that authorities have identified a suspect. “The person who did this could very well have some mental health challenges,” Contee said. “What I also know is that it appears that it may be one of our unhoused residents who did this, based upon some information that has been revealed.”
