A prayer room used mainly by taxi drivers working at Melbourne Airport was vandalised today, according to police.

Police were unable to confirm the exact nature of the incident, but said in a statement a damaged Koran was found at the scene at about 5.30am.

"Forensic procedures are being used in attempt to identify the offender or offenders," the statement said.

The "non-denominational facility" on Melrose Drive near the airport is used by taxi drivers waiting for available cab ranks at the airport.
