Luke Littler’s van was vandalised while he took part in a darts exhibition match, the world champion has revealed.
The 18-year-old posted a photograph on social media on Saturday showing the vehicle’s smashed rear view window.
“Just trying to do an exhibition in Norwich and this happens, absolute scum of the earth,” he wrote on the Instagram story.
Littler defeated rival Luke Humphries in the MODUS Icons of Darts event in the city this weekend.
Humphries and Littler, currently ranked first and second in the world respectively, were joined by former world champions Phil Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld.
Littler returned to his black Mercedes after the event to discover the rear window had been smashed.
Sky News has approached Norfolk Constabulary for comment.

Littler became the youngest-ever darts world champion in January, aged 17, when he defeated Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in the final of the PDC’s flagship event at Alexandra Palace. He had lost in the final the previous year.
Littler first picked up a dart at 18 months old and is credited with supercharging the game’s popularity.
