Wall Street 'Charging Bull' repairs to cost an estimated $15,000 after banjo attack leaves hole in its horn.
An upstate New York art foundry has been hired to repair the"Charging Bull" sculpture in Lower Manhattan after it was smashed and cut open by a man with a metal banjo.
The bull was left with an 8-inch-long hole in its right horn and several scratch marks after the attack on Saturday. "The most we've had is an occasional marking," Piccolo said."This is the first serious vandalism that the bull has experienced in 30 years."While Di Modica is disappointed by the damage, he doesn’t anticipate it will take long to repair.
Piccolo expects all repairs and renovations on the statue to be done in October, well before the 30th anniversary celebration.
