A man was arrested after setting fire to a Christmas tree outside
Midtown’s News Corporation building early Wednesday morning, police and
sources said.
The holiday display was set ablaze shortly after midnight and the
flames quickly spread up the tree in Fox Square outside the 6th Avenue
building that houses Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and the New York
Post.
Photos from the scene show the fire charred most of the Christmas
tree that was decked out in red, white and blue ornaments and topped
with a red star.
The flames also damaged three other nearby trees decorated with Christmas lights.
Police closed off the surrounding streets as FDNY firefighters extinguished the blaze.
