NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – It’s an historic setting that gets millions of laughs on a nightly basis, but a break-in at the Ed Sullivan Theater on Sunday was far from funny. A metal bar on the glass doors at the Broadway entrance to the theater was pried open and the glass was smashed. Trash cans and the stanchions for velvet ropes inside the lobby were knocked over. The vestibule was also reportedly damaged. Police arrested 22-year-old James Whittemore of Manhattan on burglary and criminal mischief charges. Cops say he was drunk. He was taken to the hospital to be treated for cuts.
