Several straphangers joined forces Saturday night to scrub away swastika symbols and anti-Semitic messages on a train in Manhattan.Attorney Gregory Locke posted about the incident on Facebook around 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
He says he got on the Bronx-bound 1 train at 50th street and found graffiti covering every advertisement and window.
A few minutes later, he said riders used hand sanitizer and tissues to get rid of the graffiti.
Locke says all of it was gone by the time the train reached 72nd Street.
A similar incident happened on a B train.
Governor Cuomo says a straphanger saw a swastika symbol on the train car, and used a marker to box it out and spell the word "love."
In a statement, Cuomo said: "This is what New Yorkers do – we turn hate into love."
The MTA says both incidents of graffiti are being investigated.
