Police say a Texas man bashed New York's Charging Bull statue with a metal object and damaged one of its horns.
Tevon Varlack, of Dallas, was arrested Saturday on charges of criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and criminal possession of a weapon for allegedly attacking the bronze beast. Police says the 42-year-old Varlack hit the bull with a metal object that looked like a banjo. The attack left the statue with a hole in its right horn.The 7,100-pound bull was created by Italian-born artist Arturo Di Modica in 1989 and installed in lower Manhattan as a work of guerrilla art.
That statue is iconic. The guy who damaged it should be in prison.
Man sees bull. Man sees bull charging. Man is rodeo cowboy. Man wrestles bull By the horns to subdue.
WHY DID YOU DO THIS MR. VAR_____? That would have been the more interesting angle to this story...do I have to do everything?
Charge the Crocodile Dundee for arson or something.
Obviously made of plastic 😂
Should be an easy fix. Or could leave it as a battle wound
Terrible. Have walked by tht bull several times. Took photos by it. No reason to try destroying it. Krazeee everywhere.
I hope he got arrested for vandalism
How high at the time he damaged the statue? Did he asked for Legalize marijuana right in NY?
what happened to that stupid little chick statue next to it
He probably thought it broke loose from a farm and wanted subdue it.
Although we don't know why Tevon Varlack did this, I can understand his anger towards Wall Street.
Well he is fighting the patriarchy
So now a banjo is considered a weapon? Come on New York! Surely you are all not this stupid.
Nice bronzy sculpture though
He wanted to kill the spirit of TORO
That bull didn’t do nothin’ to nobody.
Alright. There needs 2B a wall around Texas. 2 many guns, 2 many unstable ppl.
I am surprised he didn't go for the other end. It's a bigger target.
Can’t take those Texans anywhere!
Had to be somebody from Texas.

Why would someone from Texas do that? Remember the Pill Mill, they have not a clue what is real or imagined, like being led to believe a Huge Invasion, when only a TODDLER CARAVAN! Destruction of property!
He thought it was his mom.
That rampant raging bull portrays everything that's wrong with our out of control greedy capitalist system any correlation to the attack I'll let you form your own opinions

This Texas man needs a psychiatric help
I’m the defendant’s cousin, and what the MSM isn’t telling you, is that the metal object in question, was is own forehead. Something to be said about that level of grit & determination
THIS HADITH ABOUT DAY OF JUDGEMENT WILL SHOCK YOU
