A young man has accidentally destroyed the statue of Dom Sebastiao in Lisbon. The 24-year-old climbed a facade to snap a selfie with the 16th century Portuguese crusader king when the statue became loose causing it to fall to the ground and shatter.  New York Post reports: The man, whom police did not identify, accidentally toppled Dom Sebastiao’s statue after climbing up to its pedestal outside the ornate Rossio railway station in central Lisbon just before midnight on Tuesday. He tried to flee the scene but police caught him. He will appear before a judge at a later date.
