A man has been arrested after he destroyed a 126-year-old statue – after attempting to take a selfie with it.

The sculpture, of a 16th-century Portuguese king, reportedly shattered after a man mounted it.

The man lifted himself onto the statue’s pedestal, causing it to crumble, and then attempted to flee the scene – but was caught by police.

He will be brought before a judge at a later date.

The statue, which outside the Rossio railway station in central Lisbon, is of Dom Sebastiao.

He was King of Portugal and the Algarves from June 1557 to August 1578. He disappeared during the battle of Alcácer Quibir in Morocco.

Aren't all landmarks now plagued with many dickheads taking selfies? The leaning tower has so many idiots with that leaning pose going on now.

Pity there aren't many tourists getting killed by falling off cliffs. A few happen every summer.

This statue stood valiantly for nearly 120 years, only to be destroyed by a selfie taking faggot in 2016. Hopefully he gets killed by a falling rooftop gargoyle final destination style.

My guess regarding the appearance of the loser.

These kind of people really only deserve a city with grey concrete walls. They destroy everything else.

You mean they should be in a prison? I agree.

Fuck these narcissistic sheep and their insatiable need to be validated. I miss the days where tourists just took pictures of shit and didn't need to include themselves in the picture to "prove" they were there.

I firmly believe immediate execution should be the punishment. They destroy priceless national treasures just to get a selfie. They do not deserve a chance to potentially destroy another.

5 years labour prison should be fine. He broke a rock, he can split some rocks.

This happened where I live in Chiang Mai, Thailand about a year ago to a Spanish dude. Rolling through the pages of the website you will notice quite a few tourists/foreigners wiping themselves off the planet with stupid behaviour.

This thread is a big reason why I hate selfies and its related accessories like the selfie stick (useless crap for stupid people).

When I was traveling in Europe there were foreigners *cough migrants* selling selfie sticks everywhere. Seriously, in over 7 countries... selfie sticks everywhere. Fuckin' hell.
