A man is in police custody Saturday after investigators say more than a dozen vehicles and several buildings were vandalized in Philadelphia.

"Just a scary situation. You don't usually see that early in the morning in this neighborhood," said Eric Warner from Fairmount."I see this guy with like a 3 foot baton just slamming cars," said Warner.Warner adds he witnessed multiple cars hit around 13th and Spruce streets.

"Literally just hitting every car he walks by screaming. I was sitting inside my car, and I didn't know whether to move or not because I felt like starting the engine and moving would have caused more attention to myself," he said."It's like, what do I do? You don't know in that kind of violent situation," Warner added.

Police say in total, there was several thousand dollars worth of damage to vehicles and buildings on the 1100 block of Walnut Street in Center City. Earlier this month, the cars parked on the entire block on Lombard Street between 5th and 6th streets in Society Hill were also hit."It's kind of scary to be frank," said Warner.
