Officers were called around 8 p.m. to a report of a person defacing a menorah near Sunset Boulevard and Foothill Road, according to the Beverly Hills Police Department.
The suspect, identified Monday as 47-year-old Dallas resident Eric Brian King, was captured on surveillance video that showed him throwing objects at the menorah, police said.
Sunday was the first night of Hanukkah.
“The initial investigation revealed that King carved Nazi symbols into the base of the menorah,” police said. “He was charged with felony vandalism and a hate crime.”
Detectives are continuing to look into the case and additional charges are possible, police said.
“A despicable act such as this will never be tolerated in our city,” Police Chief Mark G. Stainbrook said.
