New York City police over the weekend arrested a man accused of finger-drawing a swastika on a Jewish man’s Cybertruck in protest of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who is President Trump’s chief bureaucracy cutter.

Authorities took Michael Lewis, 42, into custody on charges of aggravated harassment Saturday after the Cybertruck owner saw the suspect double-park his car next to the electric vehicle, jump out and draw the symbol in the dust on his truck.

Avi Ben Hamo, the victim, told the New York Post he saw the suspect defacing his vehicle from across the street and sprinted out in front of his car to prevent him from driving away.
