A New York City man was arrested and is the chief suspect in for vandalizing a Hell’s Kitchen gay bar.
A New York City man has been arrested in a series of incidents in which bricks and a rock were thrown at a window of a gay bar, police said Tuesday.
The incidents, which began on Nov. 13, stemmed from an ongoing dispute, police spokesman Lt. John Grimpel said.
Sean Kuilan, 34, was arrested on three counts of criminal mischief, three counts of reckless endangerment, and three counts of criminal possession of a weapon, police said.
No one was hurt in the three incidents of vandalism, which police said began Nov. 13, at the nightclub VERS in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood.
In two of the incidents, a brick was thrown a window, and in one a rock was used, police said.
Initially, police said they were investigating the series of vandalism as a possible hate crime. Grimpel said detectives later determined it was not a hate crime. Kuilan lives in the neighborhood.
