Police have launched an investigation and are trying to track down whoever vandalized a Picasso painting at a Texas art museum. It happened at The Menil Collection in Houston.
This cell-phone video uploaded to YouTube last week appears to show the vandal carrying out the crime, defacing the original 1929 work of art with spray paint.
Museum officials say the Picasso has already been restored and the vandal’s paint was successfully removed. The museum near St. Thomas University features more than 15-thousand works of art and has had Picasso’s “Woman in Red Arm Chair” in its collection since the late 1950s.

Video of a grown woman ripping a shoe out of the hands of a 12-year-old boy has gone viral.
The story started when Donald Driver of the Green Bay Packers greeted the crowd after a charity softball game. He tossed one of his cleats to young Stephen Wagner.
Wagner was surprised when an adult woman ripped the shoe out of his hands and said “that’s mine.”
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel captured footage of Robyn Ereth wrestling Driver’s shoe away from Wagner. She later posed online with the shoe and some friends.
Driver found out and made contact with Wagner, who got to hang out with Driver the next day. The football star gave Wagner another shoe, along with a lot of other Packers memorabilia.
