Viking ship and area near U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis hit with anti-police graffiti

Police are investigating a rash of vandalism from Saturday night that targeted the area around U.S. Bank Stadium, including a Viking ship that sits on the plaza outside the stadium.

Video surveillance is being reviewed to determine who spray-painted graffiti on stadium property and other nearby buildings around 10 p.m. Saturday, said Minneapolis police spokesman John Elder. Between 50 to 100 people were marching to the area of 4th St. and Chicago Av.

The crowd was at the stadium "for a very short duration," Elder said. They went to Elliot Park and had dispersed by the time police arrived, he said.
