Unknown perpetrators again caused enormous damage to the Leopold Fountain in Innsbruck on Sunday night. The vandals ripped the statue of Neptune from its pedestal, damaging his right leg and arm in the process. They apparently made themselves out of the dust with the arm.
Only at the end of April did the putti, which weighed 40 kilos, return intact after the curious theft of a bronze figure from the Leopold Fountain in Innsbruck. A walker had discovered the stretch on the Innpromenade. The perpetrators, who are still unknown, may have violently knocked the figure down.
Statue crashed into fountain
In the night from Sunday to Sunday, brutal vandals again struck the historic fountain on Rennweg. The strangers are said to have demolished the statue of Neptune from the pedestal between Saturday evening 7 pm and Sunday morning 8 am. “The right leg and right arm were probably broken off by falling into the well,” police said.
Stolen right arm
The figure was fished out of the well. However, the right arm was missing. The officials assume that the perpetrators stole it. “An exact amount of damage is currently unknown,” the executive said.
