Seven people were busted for allegedly vandalizing Chicago’s iconic “The Bean” sculpture and a wall honoring cancer survivors, police said.

The vandalism was reported shortly before midnight Monday when spray paint was discovered on “The Bean,” a giant, mirrored landmark in the center of Millenium Park, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Graffiti was reportedly scrawled on the bottom of the stainless steel sculpture, which was created by artist Anish Kapoor. Two benches in the park were also marked with “35th” in the same color of spray paint, police said.

More graffiti was discovered on a cancer survivor wall in nearby Maggie Daley Park.

Officers arrested seven suspects, all adults, near the sculpture that was installed in 2006.
