Antisemitic Graffiti Drawn Outside Beverly Hills School, Suspect Caught On Camera

BEVERLY HILLS, CA — Authorities on Monday released surveillance images that show a man drawing a swastika outside an elementary school in Beverly Hills and are asking for the public's help identifying the suspect.

The photos show a man walking on the sidewalk outside El Rodeo Elementary School and crouching down to draw on swastika on the walkway. Officials did not specify when exactly the incident occurred, but announced the discovery on Monday — the first night of the Jewish High Holy Day of Rosh Hashanah.

The graffiti was removed "immediately" and the incident was reported to the Beverly Hills Police Department, which is investigating the matter, the Beverly Hills Unified School District said.

“Every student deserves to come to school without fear,” Superintendent Alex Cherniss said. “Our district will act with transparency, responsibility, and care when hate harms our community. Your safety is our top priority.”
