A 16-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage on Thursday in connection with the incident and has since been released on bail.
Northumbria police said the man in his 60s was arrested on Friday evening and he remains in police custody assisting officers with inquiries.

Poisoned oaks, slain sycamores: who’s behind Britain’s tree murders?
In affluent areas across the UK, unknown assassins are striking. Their weapons? Herbicides and hatchets. Their victims? Once mighty trees. We join the plant detectives on their trail.
Whitecliff Park is the scene of two shocking double murders. Most recently, during the night of 15 February, an attack left two dead on Turks Lane, along the southeastern edge of the park. Six months earlier, two much-loved elderly residents - fine, upstanding pillars of the community - were poisoned to death on Whitecliff Road.
It could have been worse: the victims could have been people. They are - were - trees: two sycamores and a pair of English oaks.

Poisoned oaks, slain sycamores: who’s behind Britain’s tree murders?
In affluent areas across the UK, unknown assassins are striking. Their weapons? Herbicides and hatchets. Their victims? Once mighty trees. We join the plant detectives on their trail.
Whitecliff Park is the scene of two shocking double murders. Most recently, during the night of 15 February, an attack left two dead on Turks Lane, along the southeastern edge of the park. Six months earlier, two much-loved elderly residents - fine, upstanding pillars of the community - were poisoned to death on Whitecliff Road.
It could have been worse: the victims could have been people. They are - were - trees: two sycamores and a pair of English oaks.
