The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, the city’s most famous monument, has been vandalized.
Police and commentators were left puzzled Friday as to who might have done it and what their message really is.
‘We can confirm that The Little Mermaid has been vandalised some time before 9:00 am this morning,’ Copenhagen police said in a statement.
‘An unknown person has written the words ‘Racist Fish’ on it. We are investigating the case.’
