Los Angeles police are investigating after blows from a hammer destroyed the GOP presidential candidate's star early Wednesday.

A man who identified himself as Jamie Otis says he's responsible for the damage. Otis tells Deadline Hollywood (http://bit.ly/2dK4kON) that he originally intended to remove Trump's star. He says he wanted to auction it off to raise funds for the 11 women accusing the billionaire businessman of sexual assault.

Trump has denied the allegations.

Police say they recovered a sledgehammer, construction hat, vest and pick from the scene.
