A swastika drawn at the Glen Park BART station Friday morning is the latest in a series of vandalism incidents on BART property, officials said.

BART police are searching for a serial vandal suspected of drawing several swastikas and writing ethnic slurs on BART property over the past week. The first incident was reported Oct. 20, BART spokesman Chris Filippi said.

Officials believe the same person is responsible for the string of vandalism due to similarities in the images and word choice. Incidents have been reported at the San Leandro, Glen Park and MacArthur stations, officials said.

A person was seen on camera at the Embarcadero Station drawing a swastika similar to the ones reported over the past week. BART police are seeking the public’s help in identifying the man and have released images of the man believed to be responsible.

Cleanup crews were sent to Glen Park on Friday morning immediately after the vandalism was reported. Officials called the vandalism offensive and intolerable, and said they intend to pursue criminal charges against the vandal.
