Three men nearby have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and remain in custody for questioning after the mural of George Floyd in Stevenson Square was damaged in the early hours of this morning.
Chief Inspector Denise Pye, of GMP’s City of Manchester division, said: “This kind of criminal damage is totally unacceptable and will absolutely not be tolerated.
“I understand incidents like this will cause frustration across the district as this behaviour does not reflect our brilliantly diverse and inclusive communities.
“Thankfully officers swiftly attended and following a number of lines of enquiry including CCTV analysis were able to arrest three people in connection with the incident. I would encourage any witnesses or anyone with any information to get in touch.”
