With a new social media campaign targeting Columbus Day, the NYPD is ramping up plans to protect statues across the city. Vandals have already attacked statues of Christopher Columbus all over the metropolitan area, cops arrested a homeless man this weekend trying to put pink nail polish on the statue in Columbus Circle, and they’re still looking for those responsible for defacing the statue in Central Park a few weeks ago — it’s hands were painted blood red.

The apparent threat #SomethingsComing was spray painted on the base, and has now taken on new meaning; activists are aiming for Columbus Day. The NYPD told CBS2 it is aware of a social media campaign demanding action against Columbus Day. As CBS2 Political Reporter Marcia Kramer explained it has local Italian American groups all riled up.
