    A monument in Baltimore to Christopher Columbus was vandalized overnight.

    Baltimore Police said they were looking into the incident.

    A video posted to YouTube shows a man striking the base of the monument near Herring Run Park repeatedly with a sledgehammer. Another person holds a sign that reads: “Racism, tear it down.” Another sign is taped to the monument reading: “The future is racial and economic justice.”

    The narrator of the video, who says his name is Ty, calls Christopher Columbus a “genocidal terrorist.”
