Earlier this week, the Frank Rizzo Statue was twice the target of vandalism. Now, vandals have struck the mural depicting the former mayor in Philadelphia’s Italian Market. Around 2:30 a.m. Saturday, as a group of residents guarded the Frank Rizzo statue in Center City against potential vandals, spray painters – yet again – targeted his mural at 9th Street and Montrose Avenue in South Philadelphia.
One person has been taken into custody in connection with the vandalism, according to Philadelphia Police. “You say you don’t like it – that’s fine. This is ridiculous,” said Patricia Ciliberti, a lifelong resident of the Italian Market.
