The Christmas tree at Fox Square, home to Fox “News” Channel, was set on fire overnight. A suspect has been arrested and, according to police, he acted alone.

From ABC News:

The 50-foot tree on Sixth Avenue went up in flames just before 12:15 a.m., and heavy flames then spread to smaller decorated trees in the display.

Police say the 49-year-old suspect climbed up "the metal superstructure" -- the tree is an artificial sculpture that is shaped to look like a tree -- lit papers he brought with him on fire, and shoved the papers into the tree structure.

The suspect is Craig Tamanaha, a 49 year-old homeless man from Brooklyn with a record of prior arrests for drug possession and public intoxication. “The motive for the arson was unclear, but police say Tamanaha appears to have acted alone,” ABC News reports.
