Police are seeking the individual who slashed all four tires of the car belonging to Mayor Domenic Sarno.
The incident took place at around 2 pm on Wednesday-surveillance cameras captured several images of the suspect, a white male in the area of City Hall.
“Take myself out of the picture," Sarno said. "This is a serious act of violence with a deadly weapon. A concern for our residents and the public, with this individual walking around our streets with this weapon. It is very concerning that someone is acting out like this and endangering the public. I have the utmost confidence in our brave and dedicated men and women of the Springfield Police Department to find this individual and apprehend him before any other vehicles or property are damaged, or worse if he were to attack someone with this knife.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact police or use the Text-A-Tip program.
