According to police, the individual threatened and chased around half a dozen people for approximately 20 minutes starting around 5:18 AM on Wednesday, August 12. Police Captain Jason Smith told the press that the suspect targeted men and women indiscriminately. Witness Jameka described how she managed to fend off the harasser with a kick to the chest and urged others to come forward. The suspect was caught on camera chasing a female jogger, seemingly filming the interactions for his own purposes. Police described the assailant as a male between 16 and 20 years old and stated that he will face charges of terroristic threats, harassment, simple assault, reckless endangerment, and intimidation.",
