Nikki Stone is accused of criminal mischief for allegedly graffiting a window on the 7 train in Queens, sources said.

Stone, 18, who has been accused of damaging NYPD cameras and graffiting the Oculus inside the World Trade Center, was arrested Thursday by the NYPD and received a desk appearance ticket. The same day, she was arrested by the Port Authority on an open graffiti case, a source said.
