EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Donald Trump’s star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame was destroyed early Wednesday morning by a man dressed as a city construction worker wielding a sledgehammer and pickax. The man, who told Deadline his name was Jamie Otis, said he was trying to extract the star to auction it off and raise funds for the women who have come forward to accuse Trump of sexually assaulting them over the decades. 
 
 The embedded terrazzo and brass star, dedicated in 2007 in recognition of the now-GOP presidential candidate’s days as host of NBC’s The Apprentice, was smashed to bits, with shrapnel flying everywhere in the early-morning hours at the star’s sidewalk home at 6801 Hollywood Blvd. near the Dolby Theatre. Check out Deadline’s exclusive video above. 
 
 The incident occurred around 5:45 AM with a few bystanders stopping to watch. An LAPD police cruiser showed up around 6:15, but Otis already had left the scene. 
 
 In the past few months, 11 women have claimed that the Republican POTUS candidate groped or otherwise attempted to get intimate with them. At a rally this week, Trump told supporters that the accusers were not telling the truth and that he would sue them after the November 8 election. 
 
 Trump’s star has had its share of attention since he announced his White House bid in 2015, including a reverse swastika spray-painted over it in January and a mute sign painted over it in June. Later in the summer, an L.A. artist erected a small razor-wire-topped wall around the star, a knock on Trump’s plans to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. ||||| Donald Trump Hollywood Walk Star Obliterated On Camera by Vandal 
 
 Donald Trump's Hollywood Walk Star Obliterated On Camera by Vandal 
 
 Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Blvd Walk of Fame is completely destroyed after someone took a pickax to it ... and LAPD is on the case. 
 
 Law enforcement sources tell us Trump's star was smashed apart early Wednesday morning. We're told the vandal posed as a construction worker to fool anyone walking past while they did the damage. Cops took a vandalism report, but haven't made any arrests. 
 
 According to Deadline Hollywood ... someone who said his name is Jamie Otis took credit for the destruction. He said he intended to auction off the removed star to raise money for the legal defense of Trump accusers. 
 
 It's unclear where he was going to hawk the stolen property.
– He didn't want to destroy it; he said he wanted to pry it out and sell it. But either way, a guy in construction worker getup smashed Donald Trump's star to bits on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Wednesday morning—and now the LAPD is on the hunt, TMZ reports. The man showed up bright and early (around 5:45am), with a pickax and sledgehammer in hand and decked out in a bright-orange reflective construction vest, and went to work as a few bystanders gawked, per Deadline, which has video of the decimation. The man told Deadline his name was Jamie Otis and that he wanted to auction the star—which Trump received in 2007 for The Apprentice—to raise money for Trump's sexual misconduct accusers; "Otis" took off before the police got there around 6:15am.
