Seven protesters were arrested in Miami Wednesday after statues of Christopher Columbus and Juan Ponce De Leon were vandalized, police said.
Police said a hammer and sickle “among other things” were spray painted on the statues outside of Bayside Market.
George Floyd’s name, “BLM,” for Black Lives Matter, and images of fists were also spray painted on the Columbus statue, according to pictures of the statue shared by police.
Police said several protesters assaulted officers and damaged a police vehicle while officers initiated the arrest.
