A 34-year-old man has been charged after art installations in downtown Toronto were damaged, police say.
Toronto police said on July 14, officers received a report of a mischief at Nathan Phillips Square.
According to police, art installations were damaged.
The sculptures — depicting brains — were a part of The Brain Project, an initiative to increase awareness around brain health research and aging.
The sculptures are part of The Brain Project, an initiative that displays “thought provoking” brain sculptures of brains around the city, and has been doing so for seven years.
The sculptures are displayed to “ignite conversation” and fundraise for the Baycrest Foundation’s effort to defeat dementia.
According to the Baycrest Foundation, 13 brains on display Nathan Phillips Square were damaged.
According to police, 34-year-old Ashton Gray from Toronto has been charged with mischief interfering with property, mischief causing damage to property over $5,000 and assaulting a peace officer.
Police said Gray appeared in court on Friday.
