Vandals have once again damaged a statue of football star Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with the nose being sawn off and stolen in the Swedish city of Malmo.
This was the latest in a series acts of vandalism directed at the three-meter-tall statue which was placed outside the stadium of Ibrahimovic’s former club, Malmo FF.

In November, the statue was defaced with a toilet seat and set on fire, while December has already seen silver paint spread over the sculpture and a foot sawn off.
Last month it was revealed that the legendary striker had purchased around a quarter of the shares in Hammarby, who last season finished third in the Swedish top-flight, one place behind Malmo.
Zlatan’s decision did not sit well with fans of Malmo, the club where he began his career.
