So this just happened again... somebody used a pick axe to destroy Donald Trump's star on the Walk of Fame. Still trying to learn more, but we know it's been vandalized multiple times, just never on this level. @NBCLA : Victor Park/Loudlabs pic.twitter.com/lzq7YrsSRV

Multiple people — including police — tell me a man walked up with a guitar case and pulled out the pick axe. Then, it's believed, he called police himself to report it, but left the scene before they got here. Now, he's nowhere to be found. @NBCLA pic.twitter.com/mJNh1dbO0J

The star placed on Hollywood Boulevard near Highland Avenue in 2007 recognizes Trump for his work on the reality show "The Apprentice."
Trump's star was previously vandalized by a man swinging a sledgehammer and pickax days before the November 2016 election.
