"A grainy video of four masked vandals running through an art gallery in Sweden, smashing sexually explicit photographs with crowbars and axes to the strain of thundering death-metal music, was posted on YouTube Friday night."
Serrano is infamous for some shock art pieces that have often angered religious people. He's had his work banned and panned but never, AFAIK, vandalized. It seems weird given that these works are old, pretty much in the canon of contemporary art history today.

Even weirder, or perhaps not, is the vandals video'd themselves in the act and posted it to youtube.
The link has been removed for now probably due to legal reasons and because those involved purport to be neo-nazi's and the video was NSFW.
