In Boston, the head of a Christopher Columbus statue in the city's North End was lobbed off at some point before 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, when police received a call, NBC Boston reported. The police later recovered the head.

That head was also removed in 2006, and in 2015 the statue was splattered in red paint and spray-painted with the words "Black Lives Matter."
