A Boston man with a lengthy criminal record faces charges in connection with an act of vandalism at a historic cathedral that left a 150-year-old crucifix with broken arms.
Michael Patzelt, 37, of Attleboro, was arraigned Wednesday in Boston Municipal Court on a slew of charges including assault and malicious destruction of property.
Prosecutors say the crucifix outside of the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in the South End sustained around $20,000 worth of damage.
