    Police say someone smashed a glass panel on the memorial on Monday. A suspect was taken into custody.

    It’s the second time the memorial has been damaged in the past few months.

    In June, police say James Isaac used a rock to shatter a roughly 9-foot-tall (3-meter-tall) glass panel on one of the memorial’s six 54-foot-high (16-meter-high) towers. Isaac has pleaded not guilty to vandalism charges.

    The six glass towers are lit internally and etched with millions of numbers that represent tattoos on the arms of many Jews sent to Nazi death camps.

    The repaired memorial was rededicated in July.

    Democratic Mayor Marty Walsh says he’s “saddened to see such a despicable action.”
