Police Say Vandal in ‘Punisher’ Shirt Smashed Windows at Eyewitness News Studio

September 10, 2020 | 11:38 AM - Updated on June 5, 2022 | 11:32 PM

Police are looking for the man pictured above in a shirt with the Punisher cartoon logo for allegedly throwing rocks through the windows at the Eyewitness News studio on Columbus Avenue and 66th Street.

The rocks were thrown during the station’s newscast around noon on Wednesday. No one was injured, according to WABC.

The large windows allow people to look directly in on the studio, and there’s a ticker above showing stories or promos.

Update: police say they’ve arrested the perpetrator.

Great job by our very own eagle eyed Neighborhood Coordination Officers Etter and Solis! While on patrol today in the #2️⃣0️⃣Pct, they recognized this perpetrator from his Wanted Flyer and arrested him without incident before he could strike again. #ItsWhatWeDo pic.twitter.com/A285qW0WnB

Well that does make it easier to identify him, so in this case great!

The Neighborhood Coordination Officer program seems to be working.

Question: How do you punish a vandal?

Jail? But will he do it again after serving his time, upon release?

What was the cause?

Punish him by having him watch & listen to middle class Joe give a 40 minutes speech to a crowd of 27 people.

Great work by the NYPD. Amazing though how the crime and quality of life on UWS continues to decline. I remember the good old days when the only thing people had to complain about was the height of 200 Amsterdam Ave. Hopefully this guy gets locked up for years.

With that scowl & shirt, he actually looks like a Vandal, straight out of Central Casting, or… maybe a Visigoth.

Glad they caught him; that’s an iconic location, where real people work hard & obviously don’t need a rock thrown through their window, which will, at the very least, screw up their timing. (a TV veteran…)
