Police are looking for a man on a bicycle who allegedly whacked a car multiple times with a tree branch, causing thousands of dollars of damage early Tuesday afternoon in northwest Salina.
A 60-year-old Salina woman told police that she was driving southbound in the 100 block of N. College Avenue, near the intersection of N. College Avenue and W. Ash Street when an unknown man riding a bicycle struck the windshield of her 2014 Chrysler 300 with a large stick, breaking the glass, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.
When the woman pulled over, the man began striking other parts of the car with what was believed to be a five-foot tree branch.
The incident occurred at approximately 12:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Total damage to the car, based on an auto repair shop estimate, was just under $4,500, Forrester said.
The man was described as having long, braided brown hair and was wearing a white t-shirt. He was riding a medium-sized bicycle.
