A Boston man was arrested after causing serious damage to the front entryway of the early Friday morning, police reported.

Al Cox, 51, who lists his address as 444 Harrison Ave, where the Pine Street Inn is located, was charged with willful and malicious destruction of property after allegedly shattering a window near the entrance to the shelter.

A police officer working a paid detail at the Inn responded to the call around 4:15 a.m. on Friday, according to a police report.
