Police
have arrested a suspect after the
New England Holocaust Memorial in Boston was vandalized overnight on Wednesday.
Police
said one of the six 54-foot glass towers had a glass pane on its second level
broken around 1:55 a.m. The glass features millions of numbers representing the
infamous tattoos that were on victim’s arms during The Holocaust.
According
to police, James E. Isaac, 21, of Roxbury, became involved in an argument with
a group on Union Street around 2:00 a.m. on Wednesday, when members of the
group would not tell him the time. A witness observed Isaac pick up an object
and throw it at the memorial, shattering one of the glass panels.
Isaac
allegedly followed the individuals whom he had verbally confronted to the area
of Congress Street, where he and a woman accompanying him were stopped by
police and positively identified by the witness.
