The Los Angeles Police Department is currently seeking the suspect responsible for the incident, which occurred between noon and 3 p.m. on Monday.
The vandalism took place in the area spanning from 4th Street to 7th Street, and Westmoreland Boulevard to Virgil Avenue. Witnesses reported that the suspect, armed with a yellow crowbar, unleashed his fury on the vehicles, smashing windows and denting their bodies.
News coverage captured the aftermath of the chaos, with a white Toyota SUV displaying a shattered back windshield. Another silver Chevy sedan had its rear driver-side window completely smashed, prompting the vehicle owner to improvise a temporary fix using a piece of cardboard, part of a garbage bag, and tape.

This disturbing incident has left many vehicle owners in shock and frustration.
