Authorities are asking for the public\u2019s help identifying a suspect accused of vandalizing property and striking a vehicle with a metal baseball bat during a confrontation in central Fresno earlier this month.<\/p>\n

According to the Fresno Police Department, the incident occurred June 11 between 11:57 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. near Olive and Palm avenues, where the suspect was initially seen vandalizing property.<\/p>\n

Police said the suspect later moved to the area of East Olive Avenue and North Ferger Avenue, where a community member confronted him while sitting in a parked vehicle and honking the horn.<\/p>\n

The impacts shattered the windshield and damaged the side mirrors, passenger window and front pillar, sending glass shards into the vehicle.<\/p>\n

The suspect then fled the scene on a skateboard heading south toward John Muir Elementary, with a small white dog reportedly following behind him.<\/p>\n
