Long Beach police are investigating as a hate crime the vandalism of a statue of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., which was defaced by spray-painted graffiti, a police representative said Monday.
Allison Gallagher, a spokeswoman for the Long Beach Police Department, said the graffiti was not being described because of the ongoing investigation, but a photo on social media showed a black swastika spray-painted on the front of the statue. No information about any suspect is available, she said.
Police responded to a report of vandalism Friday about 3:15 p.m. at the park, which is named after the civil rights icon and is at 1950 Lemon Ave. A city cleaning crew removed the graffiti that day.
