Police seeking vandal who ruined Justin Bieber sand sculpture

A New York vandal thinks Justin Bieber should go love himself.

A sand sculpture at the New York State Fair in Syracuse was defaced this week — but only on the section baring Justin Bieber's likeness.

The 22-year-old "Love Yourself" singer's portion of the massive artwork was destroyed on Thursday night and the person responsible just took off, according to fair organizer Dave Bullard.

Bieber's face joined greats like Steve Martin, Charley Pride, Bob Dylan and Patti LaBelle on the annual sculpture, which served a tribute to the countless artists who performed at the fair's Mohegan Sun Grandstand before it was imploded in January. The Biebs put on a show for nearly 17,000 people at the stand back in 2010.

New York State Troopers are searching for the culprit who smashed the "Sorry" singer's sandy head.

"He just threw himself into the head of Justin Bieber in the sand, and then immediately bolted out the side door, a fair vendor told WSYR-TV.

Trooper Jack Keller told the Daily News that police received a partial description of the vandal, describing them as a "white male who appeared to be highly intoxicated."

"A person who intentionally damages another could be charged with criminal mischief," Keller added.

The artists Team Sandtastic spent hours on the work and Bullard told the Daily News that it is unfortunate that a "misguided person" decided to ruin the experience for others.

"If the person was sending a message to Justin Bieber that's one thing," Bullard told the Daily News. "People are still going to go see it as they always have."

New York State Police did not immediately respond to a Daily News request for comment.
