A man was arrested for vandalising the iconic Wall Street Charging Bull statue here with an object resembling a banjo.
According to the police, a 42-year-old man from Texas attacked the statue on Saturday and left dents and a hole on the bull's right horn, reports Xinhua news agency.
The man was arrested shortly after the incident and was charged with criminal mischief, criminal possession of a weapon and disorderly conduct.
