Graffiti Artists Strike Madrid Metro: Passenger Captures Vandalism on Video

Graffiti Artists Vandalize Madrid Metro Train A group of graffiti artists were caught on video vandalizing a Madrid metro train on Friday night. The incident occurred between the Pacífico and Méndez Álvaro stations on Line 6. A passenger on a nearby train filmed the event and shared the video online. "A group of people stopped the train and started painting all the cars," said the person who uploaded the videos. "The smell of paint was brutal." The video shows several individuals, their faces partially obscured, quickly spraying graffiti onto the train's exterior. The graffiti is colorful and appears to be done in a style typical of street art. After a few minutes, the artists leave the train. The video then shows the train arriving at a station where metro employees are seen inspecting the damage. Vandalizing the Madrid metro system carries a hefty fine, ranging from 300 to 3,000 euros, depending on the extent of the damage. The video serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of such actions and the impact on public transport infrastructure. The incident highlights the ongoing challenge of combating graffiti vandalism in urban environments.
