MANHATTAN — A vandal busted the mirrors on half a dozen cars in Stuyvesant Town last week, according to a police report.

Police arrested John Christian, 21, at about 3:28 a.m. on June 24 after security guards at the complex notified officers that they had spotted him smashing mirrors on at least five cars, according to police.

When officers responded they spotted Christian breaking a sixth mirror on a car parked on the 14th Street Loop and moved in to arrest him, police said.

Prosecutors charged Christian, who police said gave his address as Night Times Square, a trendy hotel at 157 W. 47th St., with criminal mischief, according to online records. A judge released him without bail, and he is due back in court on Friday, records show.

A lawyer for Christian did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
