A Norwegian museum said that a famous statue of a baby boy stomping his feet in anger has been removed from a park in the capital Oslo for repairs after someone vandalised it by trying to saw off its left ankle.

The bronze Sinnataggen sculpture is considered a national treasure and is arguably the most famous work by Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland, who died in 1943 and has also designed the Nobel Peace Prize medal.
