Motorist Attacked By Rock Thrower

TINLEY PARK, IL — A motorist was beset by a rock-throwing man as she drove down Oak Park Avenue, police said.

The 34-year-old woman was heading south on Oak Park Avenue near Prosperi Drive about 10:15 a.m. on Aug. 3 when she spotted a man on the side of the road.

She “thought the man was waiting for her car to pass so he could cross the road so she was surprised that when she approached him he threw a rock that struck the windshield of her vehicle causing two large scratches,” police said.

The man was bald, about 40 years old, 5-foot-10 and 140 pounds. He was wearing a tan T-shirt under a blue plaid shirt.

After he threw the rock at the woman’s 2016 Toyota Camry, the man ran off, fleeing through the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre property.

A police officer searched for the man but was unable to find him.
