A motorcyclist in Philadelphia has been arrested after he was caught on video smashing a woman’s windshield with two children inside the car over the weekend, authorities said early Wednesday.
Philadelphia Police Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore announced on social media that the arrest in the aggravated assault and vandalism case happened overnight.
"Great tips from public and some outstanding detective work," Vanore wrote, adding that more information about the suspect and arrest will be released later.
The incident took place at about 9 p.m. Sunday in the 1400 block of South Penn Square in the Center City neighborhood when a group of ATV and dirt bike riders converged on the area around City Hall, according to Philadelphia police.

During a stop at a red light, the driver of an ATV and the driver of a red sedan appeared to become involved in a verbal altercation.
Video shows the suspect, who was stopped directly behind the ATV, hop off his motorcycle and jump onto the back of the woman’s car and kick in the back windshield.
