POLICE on Wednesday arrested a man in his 40s for vandalism, after a signage stone wall outside Parliament House was defaced at lunch hour.
At about 1.30pm, three unifomed Certis Cisco guards were seen wrestling down a man, wearing a red T-shirt and brown trousers, on the lawn outside Parliament House.
Scribbled in black marker on the top right corner of the shoulder-high wall were the words: 'Hi Harry Lee. I love you.'
Eyewitnesses said they saw guards running across the lawn from Parliament House to nab the man while he scribbled on the wall.
It took three guards to subdue the medium-built man as he refused to be pinned down and tried to wriggle free.
As he was led away, a guard held up a piece of cardboard to cover up the words.
Soon after, other security personnel brought a canvas sheet and draped it over the sign.
The graffiti was cleaned off by 2.40pm.
In response to queries by The Straits Times, a police spokesman said: 'On 14 Jan 09 at about 2.20pm, Police arrested a Chinese man in his late 40s for vandalism at the vicinity of Parliament House. Police investigations are ongoing.'
