Eyewitness NewsNEW YORK (WABC) -- A Florida man was arrested for smashing the front door windows of Dave Letterman's Midtown theater -- the second incident of vandalism this week. Police say 42-year-old Alvin Moore, of Sebring, Florida, broke multiple panes of glass on the exterior front doors of the Ed Sullivan Theater just before 1 a.m. Thursday.
He reportedly threw a red newspaper box at the front of the theater, causing the damage.
He attempted to get into the theater's lobby when a security guard stopped him and held him until police arrived.Moore sustained a laceration to the head during the scuffle with the guard.
He was treated at St. Luke's Hospital and released.
He is now facing criminal mischief and burglary charges.
The smashing attack was just four days after James Whittemore managed to break into the Ed Sullivan Theater Sunday morning. He later apologized for his drunken rampage.
Police said there was no immediate evidence that the latest vandalism was the work of a copycat.
Moore has at least one prior arrest in Florida.
