NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — The NYPD released new surveillance footage Monday of the alleged vandal who threw paint on a George Floyd sculpture in Union Square Park.
New images show the suspected paint-slinger inside the F line's 14th Street subway station nearby the park before the incident earlier this month, police said.
The suspect is seen exiting the station turnstile in a bright, reflective construction shirt and dark knit hat while carrying a skateboard.
The unidentified man is wanted for allegedly throwing paint on the art installation honoring Floyd on Sunday morning, Oct. 3 — just days after it was officially unveiled in the park.
Police had previously released images and videos of the vandal in action, with video footage showing a man in what appears to be the same outfit splattering the statue with paint as he rode by on a skateboard.
The artwork was previously vandalized with spray paint after it was unveiled in Brooklyn back in June.
