2 arrests made in connection to subway vandalism
Editor's Note: A previous version of this report linked Davide Perre to the wrong incident of subway vandalism
NEW YORK -- The NYPD says it has arrested two people in separate subway vandalism cases.
Davide Perre, 48, of Brooklyn, was arrested on Oct. 4. He was arraigned the next day on 10 counts of criminal mischief for allegedly breaking cameras in the subway system over the course of nearly a year. Police said that since last November, Perre allegedly smashed cameras at stations in Bushwick, Chinatown, Williamsburg and Coney Island.
Perre pleaded not guilty and is due back in court in December.
