Swastika found carved into London Underground carriage
A carving of a swastika has been discovered on a London Underground carriage.
The Nazi symbol was etched into the armrest of a carriage seat, reportedly on a train heading southbound on the Northern line.
The Twitter user tagged Transport for London, who in turn asked: “What time, direction of service, and location of carriage was this on please?”
The User responded with an image of the carriage number and wrote: “This was the carriage. Arrived at London Bridge (southbound) at 7:05 approx this morning. 2nd carriage (in direction of travel), left side of carriage, first seating section, middle seat, left hand arm rest.”
This is not the first time that antisemitic vandalism has been discovered on the London Underground.
In February, a London Underground train carriage was reportedly taken out of service after the British Transport Police were alerted that a panel of the carriage was vandalised with the word “YIDS” and a Star of David.
