LOS ANGELES, Dec. 25 (Xinhua) -- Authorities have arrested a 29-year-old man suspected of spray-painting swastikas on U.S. President Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, according to media reports.

Jose Ortega of Los Angeles was arrested Sunday on suspicion of felony vandalism, said a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department.

The star is located on Hollywood Boulevard near Highland Avenue in Los Angeles.

A witness saw Ortega tag the star late Sunday afternoon and called the police, authorities said. He is being held in lieu of more than 20,000 U.S. dollar bail, according to Los Angeles County jail records.

The graffiti had since been cleaned off from Trump's star.
