Danbury doctor breaks ancient Italian statue

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — A Danbury Hospital doctor reportedly got a little too close to a statue at a museum in Italy.

A spokesman for the Mueso Del Opera Del Duomo says the man was measuring his finger against the statue's when he accidentally broke the piece of art.

The man, whom the Daily Mail identifies as a doctor from Danbury Hospital, was confronted by security and apologetic about what happened.

Danbury Hospital has not returned News 8's calls for comment.

It's unclear if charges will be filed against the man or if he'll face a fine, but Italian officials say the statue can be repaired.
