Erasing Nazism on a New York subway.
NBC News:
A group of New York commuters banded together on Saturday to clean up a subway car defaced with anti-Semitic graffiti and Nazi symbols.
Gregory Locke, 27, an attorney from Harlem came across the scene Saturday evening when he got on an uptown train on the city's 1 line at 50th Street.
Locke told NBC News that he and his fellow passengers found swastikas and other graffiti on every window, door and advertising display.
"The train was silent as everyone stared at each other, uncomfortable and unsure what to do," Locke said in a Facebook post.
"One guy got up and said, 'Hand sanitizer gets rid of Sharpie. We need alcohol.' He found some tissues and got to work."
