Unknown Vandal Targets Charles Bridge with Green Graffiti

On the evening of Thursday, September 19, passersby noticed a new act of vandalism on the Charles Bridge.

A green inscription appeared on the parapet near the Old Town Bridge Tower, catching the attention of those crossing the bridge.

While the exact time of the incident remains unknown, the bridge is under constant surveillance by multiple CCTV cameras. Authorities are confident that identifying the culprit will not take long.

According to the Novinky, as of Thursday evening, no formal report had been made to the police regarding the vandalism.

This is not the first time the historic bridge has been targeted.

In 2021, a pair of lovers left English phrases such as ‘hate you,’ ‘love,’ and ‘sorry’ on the bridge.

They were sentenced to compulsory community service and fined. The couple avoided a harsher punishment, but under Czech law, defacing a cultural monument can lead to up to three years in prison.
