The State Department told Fox News that it is aware of reports Wednesday that two American tourists were attacked in a popular European seaside destination that local media and police said left one person dead and another wounded.

The alleged attack happened early Wednesday in Cascais, Portugal, a coastal resort town about 20 miles west of Lisbon. 

Video taken by Reuters showed blood stains on a sidewalk, where a stabbing had taken place during an attempted robbery, according to media reports.

A State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital that the agency takes seriously its commitment to protect U.S. citizens abroad and stands ready to provide consular assistance.

The attack was carried out by three suspects who fled the scene in a vehicle, the newspaper added.

U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) is investigating after Rep. Dave Taylor, R-Ohio, reported vandalism in his Washington, D.C. office that included a swastika.

Images obtained by Politico show an American flag altered with a swastika pinned on one of the cubicles in Taylor's office.

A pocket Constitution and congressional calendar were also spotted in the photo, allegedly taken near a staffer's desk.

Taylor's office released a statement Wednesday afternoon, noting he condemns the symbols "in the strongest terms."

"I am aware of an image that appears to depict a vile and deeply inappropriate symbol near an employee in my office," the lawmaker wrote. "The content of that image does not reflect the values or standards of this office, my staff, or myself, and I condemn it in the strongest terms."

The husband and father of three also serves as co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Rural Broadband Caucus.

USCP did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment, with an automatic reply citing office closures due to the federal government shutdown.
