Vandals cut off the nose of Zlatan Ibrahimovic statue

Vandalism is at it again as fans have cut off the nose of a statue of Zlatan Ibrahimovic outside Malmo’s stadium in Sweden.

The 3.5 metre high bronze structure, commissioned by the Swedish FA and unveiled on 9 October, but on that same day it was announced he had bought 25% of the shares in Hammarby, Malmo’s fierce rivals.

It is the latest act of vandalism directed at the statue since it was announced that Ibrahimovic had invested in a rival club Hammarby last month.

While the statue’s artist Peter Linde has appealed for people to stop the vandalism, it seems that it will not stopping anytime soon.
