A man with a pickaxe has smashed Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to pieces.

The incident occurred early on Wednesday and the perpetrator later surrendered to police, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department said.

Pictures of the damaged star for the US President show that it was nearly completely destroyed. The star has an image of a classic television set with “rabbit ears” antennae.

So this just happened again... somebody used a pick axe to destroy Donald Trump's star on the Walk of Fame. Still trying to learn more, but we know it's been vandalized multiple times, just never on this level. @NBCLA 📸: Victor Park/Loudlabs pic.twitter.com/lzq7YrsSRV

Before being elected president, Trump was a real estate developer-turned-reality TV star who was producer of the NBC show, “The Apprentice,” and the Miss Universe Pageants.

The suspect pulled a pickax out of a guitar case before striking Trump’s sidewalk honor, the Los Angeles Times reported.
