An Asian restaurant in Yakima, Washington was vandalized with racist graffiti. Police responded to the “Minado Buffet” on 501 North 1st Street on Monday around 12:45 pm, reports YakTriNews.

“Take the corona back, you [ethnic slur],” the graffiti said. Additionally, the suspect broke four windows and a door.

Police said the security footage showed a man spray painting the building on Saturday, March 28 around 3:30 am. The suspect was seen wearing a hood and gloves while he vandalized the building.

The owners of Minado Buffet, Tony Yan and Lisa Li, called the Yakima police on Monday after seeing the graffiti. The two started the restaurant back in October which serves a variety of Asian food, reports Yakima Herald. Li told Yakima Herald that she’s been living in the United States since 2008 and has never experienced this kind of racism. She said that she’s seen an outpouring of condemnation of the crime on social media about the incident which has lifted her spirits.

“That even makes us feel safer,” she said talking about the supports she’s received from the community.

The Yakima police are investigating the incident. No suspect has been caught. If caught, the suspect may face a malicious harassment case.

“Vandalism of any kind, especially vandalism that is targeted toward a specific ethnic group, is contrary to the values of the Yakima community,” Patricia Byers, the Yakima mayor said. “It is critical during the current public health emergency that our community bands together.”

There has been a surge of anti-Asian hate crimes since the coronavirus outbreak. The FBI issued a report to local law enforcement across the country advising officers that there will be an increase in hate crimes against Asians due to the coronavirus.
