NYC Mayor de Blasio is hurt and sad.
On Monday, an unknown male walked on the BLM mural and threw red paint in front of Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue. It happened after 12pm. NYPD detectives are working on the scene to identify the suspect. Police described the suspect as male, wearing a black shirt and black hat took off on foot after dumping the paint by 56th Street. Police released surveillance photo of the suspect wanted for hate crime. Ongoing investigation.
This is de Blasio's message after tweet,
To whoever vandalized our mural on 5th Avenue: nice try. DOT has already fixed it. The BLM movement is more than words, and it can?t be undone.
Update - As of July 14, NYPD changed the crime to criminal mischief and the suspect is still at large.
