City of Hoboken responds to swastika on sidewalk

HOBOKEN — According to Hoboken city spokesman Juan Melli, the Hoboken police and the city’s environmental department responded to residents’ complaints on Election night after offensive graffiti appeared on 10th Street between Park and Bloomfield streets.
According to Melli, the graffiti featured a swatstika. The city removed most of the graffiti. “
“Because of the nature of the graffiti the city responded the same day to remove as much of it as possible,” said Melli.
At the Hoboken City Council meeting on Monday, Nov. 14, Councilman Peter Cunningham asked that the city remove more of the graffiti as he was still receiving complaints from residents in his ward.
The graffiti was anti-Trump and called his voters “fools,” but much of it has been washed away.
