The man, who had hitched a pickup truck to a tow truck, allegedly blocked the store's service door with the truck, and, in an angry rage, attacked the tow truck driver, punching him, according to police reports.
The man then allegedly stole a tow truck with the pickup truck still in tow, crashed it into a parked vehicle, then collided head-on with a city bus before fleeing on foot.
According to the media, owners of the affected vehicles showed up at the chaotic scene later in the day.
One of them reportedly said he needed help fixing his car because he had to pick up his daughter from school.
“Yeah, he really screwed up, so he's going to be in a bit of trouble,” another person told the outlet.
The suspect is reportedly on the run and authorities are investigating the incident.
