ATLANTA — Crews worked to clean up Midtown's rainbow crosswalks at 10th and Piedmont Avenue after it was vandalized Wednesday night.

A spokesperson for the mayor's office said Atlanta Police immediately notified them of the vandalism. You can see crews, in the photo below, cleaning up a swastika that was painted on one of the crosswalks.
