HELL'S KITCHEN — A swastika and the words “Praise Trump” were found scrawled inside a phone booth on Ninth Avenue, the NYPD said.

A woman told police she was walking past the booth at the northwest corner of West 53rd Street around 1:20 p.m. on Sunday when she noticed the vandalism.

The graffiti, which appears to be written in marker, hadn’t been removed from the booth as of midday Monday.
