Policija je navela da je 42-godišnji Tevon Varlak udario statuu svojim muzičkim instrumentom, usled čega su se stvorile pukotine i ogrebotine oko desnog roga „Uličnog bika“.

Za sada se ne znaju razlozi zbog kojih je napadač oštetio statuu.
Bronzana statua „Ulični bik“ ili „Bik sa Volstrita“, težine 3,2 tone, rad je vajara Artura di Modika, a postavljena je na Volstrit 1989. godine.
