An armed suspect is wanted for vandalizing approximately 30 vehicles in Koreatown.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the vandalism occurred on Monday between noon and 3 p.m. in the area of 4th Street to 7th Street and Westmoreland Boulevard to Virgil Avenue.
Witnesses say that the man was bashing in windows and denting the bodies of the vehicles with a yellow crowbar.
Video submitted to KTLA by a neighbor shows the man walking around with the crowbar, smashing parked vehicles at random.

A woman who lived nearby ran down from her apartment to confront the vandal.
“I was just like ‘this isn’t fair,’ because I live with such wonderful neighbors,” said Michelle Vizcarra. “It broke my heart, so I decided to go down and try to at least get a good picture of him.”
“Luckily I wasn’t the only one,” Vizcarra continued. “There were so many people trying their best to get him.”
Another neighbor said he wasn’t too surprised by the vandalism.
“It’s on and off, you know, it kind of comes and goes,” Jon Thomas told KTLA 5’s Lauren Lyster. “I parked down on 4th at Westmoreland a couple years back and my back window was smashed out so I’m no stranger to it for sure.”
New photos of the suspect have emerged; he is described as a Black man wearing a “Dallas” sweatshirt with black pants and black slippers. He was also seen carrying a neon green bag.
He is said to be “hostile toward bystanders,” police said.
