NEW YORK — A man arrested for vandalizing a church in Queens also broke a window at Timothy Cardinal Dolan’s residence at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, the NYPD said Monday. 

Police said Juan Velez was caught on video last week throwing a rock at the glass front door of Grace Lutheran Church on Union Turnpike. He was charged with criminal mischief as a hate crime. 

Investigators said Velez threw a wrench at a window panel at the Cardinal’s residence in Manhattan in Nov. 2022. There were no injuries. 

Velez may be responsible for at least one other incident, police said.
