The man, later identified as Tevon Varlack of Dallas, apparently attacked the bronze bull with a metallic object believed to be a banjo, damaging its left horn.  

Varlack was arrested Saturday on charges of criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, and criminal possession of a weapon.  

The 7,100-pound  bull was created by Italian-born artist Arturo Di Modica in 1989, and installed in lower Manhattan near Wall Street as a work of guerrilla art.
