The car’s windows and posters were covered in anti-Semitic graffiti, according to accounts from Mr. Locke and another passenger in the car, Jared Nied. Mr. Nied and several other commuters began to wipe away the graffiti, their actions captured in photographs taken by Mr. Locke, who posted to Facebook about his experience. “I’ve never seen so many people simultaneously reach into their bags and pockets looking for tissues and Purell,” Mr. Locke wrote. “I understand the criticism, but unfortunately, I don’t have an answer for it,” Mr. Locke said. “It was a very New York moment in that we all came together, we all teamed up and then we settled back down,” Mr. Nied said.
