Police say a man is in custody, related to the destruction of the president's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with a pick axe, early on Wednesday morning.

A call came in at approximately 3.30am Pacific reporting vandalism to Donald Trump's star, located at Hollywood and Highland, Los Angeles Police Officer Ray Brown told DailyMail.com.

This is the second time the star has been destroyed by someone using a pick axe.

A man who is described as a white male who appears to be approximately 25 years old is now in custody in Hollywood, related to this incident.

The suspect turned himself in to the Beverly Hills Police Department at around 4.30am, a BHPD spokesperson told DailyMail.com.

The suspect, whose identity has not been disclosed, is awaiting charges.

Trump, who was honored with the star in January 2017, has not publicly commented on this incident of vandalism of the star.

A man approached Trump's star at around 3.00am, a witness told ABC 7 News.

He opened a guitar case, removed a pick axe, and demolished Trump's star, the witness said.

Some time after the incident, a pull up bar was placed over the debris in the spot where Trump's star used to sit, presumably to protect passersby from tripping over the rubble.

Trump's star has been defaced, demolished or otherwise tampered with many times since he declared his candidacy for president in 2015.

The last time the star was destroyed with a pick axe was in October 2016, right before Trump was elected president, by a man named James Otis.

Otis, who was dressed as a construction worker and also used a sledge hammer at the time, said his goal was to remove the star, auction it, and donate any money raised to the women who accused Trump of sexual assault leading up to the presidential election.

Otis pleaded no contest to a felony vandalism charge related to the incident in February 2017, was placed on probation, sentenced to 20 days of community service and ordered to pay $4,400 in damages and lawyer’s fees.

Some time after the incident, a pull up bar was placed over the debris in the spot where Trump's star used to sit, presumably to protect passersby from tripping over the rubble.

Another incident of vandalism includes the symbol for 'mute,' which indicates sound has been turned off on a device, being spray painted on the star in June of 2016, which was speculated to have been done in protest of Trump's antagonistic language used during his campaign

Other incidents of vandalism include a reverse swastika being spray painted on the star in January 2016, and the symbol for 'mute,' which indicates sound has been turned off on a device, being spray painted on the star in June of 2016.

Speculation around the spray painting of the 'mute' sign included the possibility that it was meant to protest Trump's antagonistic language used during his campaign.

That incident was video taped and posted on YouTube with the title, 'Trump muted in Hollywood blvd.'

The Anti-Defamation League, whose mission is to stop the defamation of Jewish people, explains the distinction between forward and reverse-facing swastikas, as follows:

'The swastika as adopted by the Nazis has "arms" that hook to the right; later white supremacists maintained this tradition.

'Though sometimes more ignorant white supremacists accidentally render swastikas "backwards," the backwards or left-pointing swastika is typically the hallmark of someone not actually that familiar with white supremacist iconography.'

Political statements made surrounding Trump's star have also included the placing of a miniature wall around its edges, seemingly in protest of Trump's calls to build a border wall

Ana Martinez, who is the vice president of media relations for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, said she'd prefer if people would stop this kind of behavior, in an interview published in November by Real Clear Life.

'I’d like people to know that the Walk of Fame is a historical landmark and I would very much like it if people didn’t damage any stars,' Martinez said.

'I know that people have their personal political views about President Trump, and feelings about other stars, but please, it would be great if people could refrain from vandalizing his star or any other stars.'

Political statements made surrounding Trump's star have also included the placing of a miniature wall with barbed wire around its edges, seemingly in protest of Trump's calls to build a border wall, and nearby placement of a gold-colored toilet featuring the words, 'Take A Trump' spray painted on its tank.

The gold-colored toilet, placed by the star in May 2016, was part of a larger art installation, created in reference to the Guggenheim offering to loan the president a golden toilet after turning down a request for a specific piece of Van Gogh art, as reported by the Washington Post.

Gregg Donovan, a British-born actor living in Santa Monica, showed up later on Wednesday to 'protect' what remains at this moment of Trump's demolished star, and was photographed holding a sign that read 'Keeping America Great! Trump 2020.'

Donovan noted that other stars nearby were on the surrounding walls, and not on the ground, while talking with CBS News.

'I think they should probably put [the stars of President Ronald] Reagan and President Trump on the wall for safekeeping,' he said.

'This is the second time, so something has to be done.'

Donovan said he would stay by the star as long as he had to, to stand guard.

'Whatever it takes,' he said. 'I'm not going to let anybody do this again, until maybe the police come.'

Donovan is staple on Hollywood Boulevard, often greeting tourists and locals in his signature red jacket and top hat.

All of the stars on the Walk of Fame are maintained by the Hollywood Historic Trust.

The suspect related to the Wednesday morning incident is currently in custody at the Hollywood police station, awaiting processing and booking, Officer Brown said.

It's not yet known what charges will be filed.
