Authorities investigating swastikas scrawled in blood near Holocaust museum

Los Angeles police opened an investigation Monday after discovering a “large amount” of blood and two swastikas written in blood in and around a bathroom near Pan Pacific Park in the Fairfax area, authorities said.

Officers were called to the 100 block of North Gardner Street about 6:45 a.m., where someone reported the blood in and around a recreation center bathroom.

They also found two swastikas, each about a foot long and wide, scrawled in blood on a concrete bench near the restrooms and a playground, which also sits near the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust.

The officers thought someone had been seriously injured and called in the agency’s bloodhounds, which traced the scent for several blocks going south and east. Eventually, they lost the scent.

Police took a hate incident report and are working to find or identify a victim.

Police Investigating Discovery of Blood, Swastika in Fairfax Area

Police Monday were investigating the discovery of a blood trail, and the drawing of swastikas and some other symbols in Pan Pacific Park in the Fairfax area, which is home to the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust.

The blood and symbols were discovered about 6:45 a.m. on a wall near a playground and in or near a bathroom next to a senior center in the park near the 100 block of North Gardner Street, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Two swastikas were found, according to LAPD Officer Norma Eisenman, who said investigators believe the blood came from someone who had suffered an accident, a self-inflicted injury or a criminal act.

Bloodhounds were brought in and followed a scent for several blocks going south, then east, before losing the trail, Eisenman said. A hate incident report was generated and detectives will continue to investigate and seek the injured party, she said.

“Acts of hate and anti-Semitism are deeply painful and have no place in the city of Los Angeles,” City Councilman David Ryu said in a statement. “With hate incidents on the rise locally and nationally, we must stand up for our diverse communities and their safety. I am in contact with LAPD while this remains under investigation, and urge anyone with information to contact the LAPD Wilshire Division.”

The Wilshire Division can be reached at (213) 473-0476.

Not to rain on any moron's parade, but do realize that the Museum of the Holocaust is at the far northwest corner of the park. while all the graffiti & bleeding happened at the far southeast corner. Which also has a fair amount of homeless people.
