Police investigate destruction of Trump's Hollywood star

Los Angeles police are investigating a pre-dawn attack that destroyed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame less than two weeks before the election.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which bestows the stars and maintains the popular tourist attraction, said it would quickly repair Trump's spot, but it would take several days before it would be visible.

Det. Meghan Aguilar said investigators were called to the scene on Wednesday following reports that the presidential candidate's star was struck by blows from a hammer. A sledgehammer, construction hat and vest and a pick were recovered nearby, Officer Sal Ramirez said.
