Another day, another stunt at Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
There have been walls and there have been prison bars, but this time around there was just lots of blood - well, fake blood that is.
The culprit appears to have been part of a protest set up by PETA's Los Angeles chapter at Forever 21, which is located next to the star.
A surveillance camera set up by TMZ captured the man kneeling down next to Trump's star and pouring what appears to be red paint all over it.
The paint was removed within an hour, less than a day after two swastikas were scrubbed off the star.
Another man dressed in black was captured on TMZ's camera drawing the swastikas around 9am on Wednesday morning.
The fake blood and swastikas are hardly the first time Trump's star has made headlines.
In September, street artist Plastic Jesus placed bars on top of the plaque to show that the 'infamous star is caged'.
The British and Los Angeles-based artist used instant-drying, industrial strength, double-sided sticky tape to secure the bars.
Plastic Jesus said he wanted the stunt to show that Trump should pay the price if he's guilty of colluding with Russia in the 2016 presidential election.
The artist tweeted his final artwork on Wednesday writing: 'Today I put @realDonaldTrump behind bars.'
'There have been calls to jail Trump since the day he was elected, and today he was certainly put behind bars,' the artist told Huffington Post.
'At least his now infamous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was caged.'
However his art installation didn't last long as a Trump supporter damaged it.
'Although it was very quickly damaged by a Trump supporter trying to remove it, the bars did appear to be stuck fast and were there several hours later - to the amusement of thousands of passing tourists,' Plastic Jesus added.
In 2016, Plastic Jesus surrounded Trump's star with a six-inch wall as a protest to Trump's call for a wall to be built on the US border with Mexico.
His model was complete with barbed wire and a tiny American flag.
In July Trump's star had to be completely replaced after a protester attacked it with a pickaxe, smashing in into pieces.
Austin Clay, 24, pleaded no contest to felony vandalism last month after he was caught on camera raising the axe high above his head and smashing it into the star.
Clay was sentenced to one day in county jail, three years of probation, and 20 days of community labor.
He must also pay the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce $9,404 in damages for the star and another $800 in fines.
The West Hollywood City Council voted unanimously for Trump's star to be removed in August, but no action has been taken.
Trump's star was originally installed in 2007 to commend his work for the Miss Universe pageant, however the plaque has faced repeated attacks by protesters since he became president.
