BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston police are turning to the public for help identifying a man who was caught on camera smashing a rock through a vehicle’s rear windshield early Tuesday morning.
Officers responding to a reported vandalism overnight near a home on Alexander Street found a car window destroyed and checked nearby security video, which showed a man throw a rock through the window around 3:30 a.m.
The man who threw the rock, described as Black and wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, could be seen walking toward the vehicle with the rock over his shoulder and then throw it through the window.
Right before the smash, the man was seen walking down the street holding something in his hand. He did not appear to stop as the glass was shattered.
The car owner says he’s given the video to the police in the hopers that they’ll be able to track down the man who damaged his car.
Anyone with information is asked to call Boston police.
“It is disgusting. I don’t understand why people feel the need to destroy things that aren’t theirs. The man was obviously an adult. He knows better,” said neighbor Justyn Palmer-Mattier.
