The bathrooms at Greenbrier Park near Yorktown High School were damaged over the weekend by a pair of teen vandals.
The incident happened just before 11 p.m. Sunday. On social media, a witness described encountering the suspects before they fled on foot.
“I walked over to investigate because of the breaking glass noise, I was genuinely worried about someone getting hurt, and I found 2 teenage boys doing this work,” she wrote in a Facebook post. “Very disappointing.”
Photos posted showed a phallic drawing and the phrases “kill them” and “the fog is coming” scrawled on the walls of the bathrooms. A broken mirror could also be seen, as well as dirt and various debris on the floor.
Arlington County police say they’re investigating. More from a police spokesperson:
