It has been splashed with paint twice stared down by the much-beloved Fearless Girl and repeatedly reviled as the symbol of corporate greed. On Saturday afternoon, Wall Streets long-suffering Charging Bull endured yet another attack that left it with a six-inch-long gash above its brow, along with a dozen deep scratches. The alleged culprit? A Texas man wielding a fortified metal banjo.
Tevon Varlack, 42, of Dallas was charged with criminal mischief and disorderly conduct on Saturday in connection with the vandalism
.
A witness told the New York Times that Varlack was cursing President Trump as he swung the banjo against the bronze sculpture, sending loud clanging through the Bowling Green park in Manhattans financial district and startling tourists hoping for a photo with the bulls famous gonads. Police declined to confirm this, writing only that the man responsible for the attack was ranting incoherently.
