The lawn on the National Mall was found vandalized on Thursday, with etchings in the grass displaying the message “86 47.”

The vandals created markings by turning the grass brown in some areas to display their message on the green field.

“86 47” is a threat to ‘eliminate/kill’ the 47th president.

US Park Police are currently investigating the incident.

“The deranged vandalism on our National Mall will not be tolerated,” the Department of the Interior said in a statement to Fox News.

“Any threat against the President is taken very seriously by the Department, and our U.S. Park Police will investigate this incident and hold those responsible accountable.”

WATCH:

It is currently unclear how the etchings were made.

DC photographer Andrew Leyden said there was a “large police presence” at the scene this afternoon.

This comes amid heightened security concerns following the attempted assassination of President Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in April.

Former FBI Director James Comey infamously posted the “86 47” message on his Instagram page and has since been indicted by a grand jury in the Eastern District of North Carolina on two felony counts for threatening to kill the President of the United States.

The case is still ongoing, but the lead federal prosecutor on it has resigned.
