Police in San Leandro, California, arrested a 25-year-old on Monday on suspicion of vandalizing a neighbor's home with anti-Asian graffiti.

The incident, which occurred over the weekend, saw racist messages spray-painted onto a realtor sign and garage door outside a neighborhood home that was in the process of being sold.

Nicholas Swyers was arrested without incident at around 1:30 a.m. Monday on suspicion of a hate crime, the San Leandro Police Department said in a press release.

Police said Swyers lives on the same block as the home that was targeted. The home was “in the process of being sold,” they said, with the homeowners, realtor and most recent tenants all being of Asian descent.

The police department said officers first responded to the scene at around 9 p.m. Saturday and found that the realtor sign had been spray-painted with an anti-Asian slur.
