(TJVNEWS.COM) A man on Sunday evening went on a violent crime spree with a wooden bat, attacking people and vehicles in Lower Manhattan.
NYPD officials are baffled at the “frightening violent crime spree” and are still “trying to make sense of” what happened, said CBS New York.
CBS said the Atlantic City man was armed with a “wooden bat-like weapon.” He attacked ten people and damaged several cars.
NYPD said Bryan Thompson,43, then forced a man out of his Jeep Grand Cherokee in front of 66 West Broadway. He went on a video game inspired chase with police, eventually crashing at West 24th Street and 12th Avenue.
Thompson was hospitalized for a psychiatric evaluation. He faces multiple charges, including robbery, assault, and fleeing police.
