Use one of the brush presets set with a grainy effect, and paint on the image in some areas maybe?

If you convert the original to a smart object, you can add a "smart" filter that will come with a layer mask. You can then use the brush tool to remove areas of the filters effect.

As Paul suggested, you can use a variety of brushes to create the cracked effect.

On a new layer above the original, add your brush work.
(here it's on a white bg for demo)


Here I changed the layers blend mode to dissolve.


Here it is over the original.


Add a layer mask to the "brush work" layer.
Use the Brush Tool set to black, with a soft round brush to work on the layer mask.
