The Vancouver Police Department said in a news release Sunday that a 38-year-old man was accused of attacking "at least five women" and causing thousands of dollars in property damage.
“Once again, these attacks appear completely unprovoked, and they must have been terrifying for everyone involved,” said VPD spokesperson Const. Tania Visintin, in the release.
“We believe there are more victims, and likely dozens of witnesses, who have information and cellphone video footage that can help the police investigation.”
Calls about the incidents began coming in around noon on Saturday, police said. The callers reported a man, "possibly in psychosis," who was "smashing glass and destroying property" near the intersection of Oak Street and West Broadway, according to police.
"The suspect allegedly approached a 40-year-old woman in her car, made shooting gestures, banged on the vehicle, and tried to open the car door," the VPD release reads.
"When she drove away, the suspect allegedly chased the vehicle down the street."
