President Trump’s Hollywood Walk Of Fame Star Was Smashed To Pieces
President Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was destroyed by a man with a pickax early Wednesday, according to Los Angeles police Officer Ray Brown.
Hollywood division officers responded to a call at 3:33 a.m. (6:33 a.m. ET) to the tourist area. Los Angeles police said a man is in custody and is being questioned.
Police said a man turned himself in Wednesday morning at the Beverly Hills Police Department.
Patricia Cox, a witness, told CNN affiliate KCAL/KCBS that she saw a man “going to town” on the ground “like it was his business just to be tearing up the ground,” she said.
“I thought it was work going on over here.”
Video from KCAL/KCBS shows tourists taking photos of the defaced star in front of the Hollywood & Highland center, a major tourist spot in Hollywood.
