Luke Littler's van window smashed in Norwich during exhibition with Luke Humphries
The 18-year-old defeated rival Luke Humphries in the MODUS Icons of Darts event in the city on Friday night but returned to his vehicle to discover the rear window had been smashed.
Alongside an image of the van, Littler posted on Instagram: "Just trying to do an exhibition in Norwich and this happens, absolute scum of the earth."
The PA news agency has approached Norfolk Constabulary for comment.
Humphries and Littler, ranked first and second in the world, were joined at the exhibition by former world champions Phil Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld.
Littler became the youngest-ever darts world champion in January, aged 17, when he defeated Michael van Gerwen in the final of the PDC's flagship event at Alexandra Palace.

James Milner to wear number 20 at Brighton in memory of Diogo Jota
James Milner will wear the number 20 shirt at Brighton this season in memory of the late Diogo Jota, describing his former Liverpool team-mate as a 'great friend'. The Portuguese forward died aged 28 last month in a car crash, alongside his brother Andre Silva, just weeks after helping Liverpool clinch Premier League title glory. Liverpool have retired the number 20 jersey worn by Jota in his five seasons at Anfield, three of them alongside Milner before the veteran England midfielder moved to Brighton in the summer of 2023. With Carlos Baleba opting to have 17 on his back ahead of the 2025/26 campaign and vacating 20, Milner, who has been Brighton's number six, has swooped in to pay a touching tribute to Jota. 'Once I heard Carlos was looking to change his number and 20 was available, I wanted to do it as a mark of respect and pay tribute to Diogo Jota,' Milner said on the club's X channel. 'He was an amazing player who I was fortunate to play with and a great friend as well. 'It will be a great honour to wear his number in the Premier League this year.' Milner – whose contract was extended by Brighton in June for another season, which will take him past his 40th birthday – was among a number of Jota's former team-mates who attended his funeral in July. With 638 Premier League appearances already to his name, he sits within striking distance of Gareth Barry's all-time record of 653 games.

Russell Martin reveals Rangers transfer needs for Celtic challenge as surplus stars told they can leave
Martin wants more new faces but insists he doesn't have to get players out the door before more can arrive at Ibrox Russell Martin admits he needs more new players to have a squad strong enough to compete with Celtic for the title and in Europe. Right now, the Rangers boss believes he has a strong first 11 available to him but feels they're still light in certain areas. He's already signed seven players this summer but revealed there WILL be more. Martin has also told players who are surplus to requirements to find other clubs, including Turkish defender Ridvan Yilmaz who is on his way out and has been linked with a return to Besiktas. Martin said: 'We still need more players. We need to strengthen a couple of really key areas. 'Mikey helps us a lot because he gives us something we don't have. 'But I still think there will be players leaving and players joining. 'We have to be willing and open for that change. This club has needed it and we must now be patient during it to make sure we get the right ones in. 'With Ridvan, we've had an honest conversation and he's sizing up his options, there are a couple of clubs interested in him so we'll wait and see what happens. 'I don't think we need players to go out (before getting players in). 'There's a bit of interest in a fair few of them who know that for their careers they probably need to move on to play football. ' But we've still done deals for Mikey and Djeidi Gassama for instance. 'By the end of the window, we definitely can't have them all in here. 'But I don't think it's a case of having to wait or saying we need them to go first. Ahead of the trip to Motherwell on Saturday, Martin revealed that injured duo Thelo Aasgaard and Hamza Igamane still aren't fit enough to feature. 'Aasgaard and Igamane aren't going to make it. They aren't serious injuries, just frustrating ones where you have to be patient and make sure we don't re-injure them.' Martin will face his ex-Norwich team-mate Jens Berthel Askou in the dug-out at Fir Park tonight - and he's determined to get off to a winning start in the league. He said: 'I know how hard working Jens is and I'm sure he's carried that into his coaching and management. 'He's done a good job in his early career so far. 'I'm looking forward to seeing him but I want to win and it's better to catch up after you've had a win.'
