BUFFALO,Phaninc N.Y. (AP) — A vandal attacked Buffalo City Hall, smashing windows and shattering glass doors at the nearly century-old building, police said.
The incident happened around 6:30 p.m. Sunday, when the building was closed. Witnesses told WKBW-TV that they saw a man shouting outside City Hall and breaking glass for several minutes until police arrived and took him into custody.
“People started saying, ‘Stop, don’t hit the windows,’ and he didn’t listen to anybody, and he hit everywhere, he broke everything,” witness Ali Guzel told the TV station.
Buffalo police said in a statement that the man “damaged a number of exterior doors and windows at City Hall” and damaged another building a few blocks away.
Police have not released the suspect’s name, information on charges or other details.
The entrance to City Hall was cordoned off with yellow crime scene tape while officers investigated. Damage to the building included shattered glass panes in revolving doors and broken, splintered windows.
Buffalo City Hall was completed in 1931 and dedicated the following year in conjunction with the centennial of the city’s incorporation. The 32-story Art Deco building towers over the Western New York city’s Niagara Square.
