Anti-Semitic fliers were found on the steps of homes near Virginia Hospital Center Tuesday.
The fliers, soggy from the rain, were spotted in front of homes on 16th Street N. and N. Edison Street. Fliers were also left in front of the hospital鈥檚 emergency room entrance, according to a tipster.
Within the fliers were hateful messages and conspiracy theories about Jews and Israel.
Chris Williams, a 16th Street resident, picked up two fliers he found lying around. Others nearby were torn up and in scraps on the street.
鈥淚 guess it was a good thing it rained,鈥� he聽said. 鈥淸The fliers]聽were just laying in the yard. It seems like they didn鈥檛 want to get caught because they didn鈥檛 go put them where the other fliers go.鈥�
Williams聽said he鈥檚 never seen anything like them in the 11 years he鈥檚 lived here.
鈥淚 prefer not to live near people like that, but you have to,鈥� he said.
It鈥檚 not clear, however, who distributed the fliers. Last week that similar fliers had been distributed to homes in parts of Arlington, Alexandria, Chevy Chase, Md. and various neighborhoods in聽Northwest D.C.
An Arlington police spokesman could not be reached for comment.
