Train vandalized as art thesis

Storstockholms Lokaltrafik, the transit authority in Stockholm, Sweden, has demanded an arts university pay more than $10,000 after a student allegedly painted graffiti in a train and smashed a window, the BBC reported.

Magnugs Nugstafsson submitted a video of the vandalism, titled "Territorial Pissing" as his art thesis at the University College of Arts, Craft and Design, according to the BBC. The video shows a masked man spray-painting inside a train car before smashing a train window and jumping out of the train through it.

The university told the BBC it does not allow students to commit illegal acts as part of their thesis, but cannot prove whether Nugstafsson committed the vandalism or merely recorded it.
