MINNEAPOLIS -- A stranger has stepped up to help the owner of a Minneapolis business that was severely damaged by a vandal.
Daniel Hernandez has to pay thousands of dollars to repair the windows of his grocery store in the Eat Street neighborhood.
Cameras caught a young man smashing the windows Friday night after he was kicked out for shoplifting.

"I was very touched by your story. It hit something really deep and I want to give you $1,000 for repair for your window," Donahue said to Hernandez.
"Thank you so much. It's going to help a lot," Hernandez said.
Hernandez says he no longer has to decide between repairing the window or laying off one of his employees.
Police haven't announced any arrests.
