The six-foot tall bust of George Floyd in New York City
A recently unveiled sculpture honouring George Floyd in New York City has been defaced for a second time.
Police said grey paint was thrown across the statue on Sunday, just two days after it was set up in Union Square.
A clean-up effort by community volunteers is underway.
The New York Police Department's hate-crime task force has opened an investigation into the incident.
The six-foot tall bust of Floyd was on display earlier in Brooklyn, where it was vandalised with black paint.
Floyd was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer in 2020.
His death incited a wave of global protests over racial justice.
