DeKalb and Atlanta police are searching for a man shown in dashcam video randomly jumping on the hood of a woman’s car and kicking in the windshield.
The incident happened about 1:30 p.m. Monday as the woman pulled out of a Kroger parking lot in the 1100 block of Moreland Avenue, according to police.
She said she had just left a gas station when the man kicked the windshield of her black Hyundai Sonata several times and ran east on Village Creek Landing.
While she was not injured, the woman told Channel 2 Action News that the experience of “looking into someone’s face who clearly doesn’t care about anything or anyone and seeing him that close to you, kicking at you” was terrifying.
“I have no clue why this happened and why me,” she said.
Soon after the incident, the woman called police, filed an incident report and posted the video online to find the man.
Crime Stoppers Greater Atlanta is offering a reward of up to $2,000 for information about the man, who was seen in the dashcam footage wearing a white shirt, black pants, black earbuds and a red hat. He may be in his late 20s, police said.
Anyone with information about the man is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477. Tipsters can remain anonymous.
