BOSTON (WHDH) - State police are turning to the public for help identifying the vandal or vandals who damaged a Vietnam war memorial in Dorchester.

State police received a call from a concerned resident around 3 p.m. Thursday who noticed the Morrissey Boulevard memorial had been vandalized.

Responding troopers found shrubs uprooted, an American flag that appeared to have been cut, a Massachusetts state flag that had been cut from a pole, tossed into the woods and covered in trash, and bricks that had been thrown at the memorial, a spokesman said.

A POW flag has been reported missing.
